Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin. Flake the salmon into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix until fully combined.
Use clean hands to shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter. The recipe should yield about 6-8 patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Fry the salmon patties in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
