Bursting with bright citrus flavor, these Lemony Salmon Patties are a simple yet elegant meal perfect for weeknight dinners or light lunches. Made with flaked canned salmon, zesty lemon juice, and a hint of Dijon mustard, these golden, pan-fried patties are both refreshing and satisfying. Fresh parsley and a touch of garlic powder elevate the flavor, while breadcrumbs help create a perfectly crisp exterior. Ready in just 25 minutes and packed with protein, these salmon patties are an easy and healthy way to savor seafood. Serve them warm with a wedge of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce for a flavorful dish the whole family will love.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it holds together.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon on the side or your favorite dipping sauce.
