Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh salmon fillets (skinless)
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced thin)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (Dijon recommended)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
- 1 whole Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillets into small chunks and place them in a food processor. Pulse several times until coarsely chopped. Do not over-process; you want a chunky texture, not a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon with the panko breadcrumbs, fresh dill, green onions, minced garlic, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty or cake, about 2 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the salmon patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, serve on a bun with your favorite toppings or alongside a salad for a lighter option.
