Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 15 ounces canned salmon
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes into a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain and mash them until smooth. Let the mashed potatoes cool to room temperature.
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones. Flake the salmon into small pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onion and parsley, then add them to the bowl with the salmon.
Add the cooled mashed potatoes, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and the egg to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until evenly combined.
Gradually mix in the panko breadcrumbs until the mixture is firm enough to shape into patties. You may not need the full amount.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh side salad.
