Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon
- 2 egg
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones. Place the salmon in a large mixing bowl and flake with a fork.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, red bell pepper, green onions, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the salmon. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form each into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the salmon cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the salmon cakes warm, garnished with additional parsley or a dollop of Greek yogurt if desired.
