Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon (drained and flaked)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup finely diced onion
- 0.5 cup finely diced red bell pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or muffin tin with olive oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Mix thoroughly to create a base consistency.
Add the dijon mustard, mayonnaise, diced onion, diced red bell pepper, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs. If it feels too dry, add a small spoon of mayonnaise.
To make patties, shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized rounds, about 1/2-inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Alternatively, to make muffins, scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Spray the tops of the patties or muffins lightly with olive oil to help them brown.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through. If making muffins, no flipping is necessary.
Remove from the oven when golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sauce or alongside a fresh green salad.
