Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon (drained and flaked)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
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.
