Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces canned pink salmon
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Drain the canned pink salmon and flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Remove any large bones if desired.
Add the egg, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the salmon.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) and set them aside on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon patties in the skillet, leaving enough space between them to flip comfortably.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a slice of lemon, or on a bun as a salmon burger.
