Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin, if desired, then transfer it into a mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Use a fork to mix all the ingredients together until well combined, breaking up the salmon as you mix.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form each into patties about 2.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded (cook in batches if necessary).
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as-is or with a dipping sauce, over a salad, or in a sandwich.
