Made with tender canned salmon, aromatic fresh dill, and a hint of citrusy lemon zest and juice, these patties deliver a burst of fresh, vibrant flavor in every bite. The addition of green onions and a touch of creamy mayonnaise keeps them moist, while breadcrumbs ensure the perfect texture.

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 pressedβif 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 2β3 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the salmon patties in batches for 4β5 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.
