Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Mixture
- 1 can salmon (about 14.75 oz)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Frying
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola) for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Drain the water from the canned salmon and discard the skin and large bones to achieve a flaky texture.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the salmon, egg, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a cohesive mixture.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into patties approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter for even cooking.
- Heat oil: Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat to ensure proper frying temperature.
- Cook patties: Fry the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from skillet and serve hot, perfect on their own or with a side of your choice.
Notes
- You can use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- For a lower fat version, cook patties in a non-stick pan with minimal oil or bake them.
- Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors and balances richness.
- Salmon patties pair well with tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent patties from sticking.
