Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz salmon, canned, skinless and boneless, drained
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, preferably whole wheat
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, flake the drained salmon using a fork until it's a fine consistency.
Crack the egg into the bowl with the salmon and mix together to combine thoroughly.
Add the finely chopped red onion, breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumb to help bind.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the salmon patties warm, perhaps with a side of mixed greens or a dollop of homemade no-sodium dressing or yogurt sauce.
