Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 2 stalks green onion
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones. Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, finely chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed—if it's too dry, add a little more mayonnaise; if it's too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, roughly 2–3 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon patties in batches for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon. If freezing for OAMC, allow the patties to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container separated by wax paper. Reheat in an oven or skillet when ready to eat.
