Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon (drained and flaked)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, and chopped onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the salmon and breadcrumbs. Add the chopped parsley and mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be moist but hold its shape when pressed.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Carefully flip the patties over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the salmon patties from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a squeeze of lemon, or alongside a fresh salad.
