Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon (boneless, skinless)
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp parsley (chopped, fresh or dried)
- 2 stalks green onion (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon, and remove any residual bones or skin if necessary. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and break it apart with a fork.
Add breadcrumbs, the egg, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, green onion, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined and holds together when shaped.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon, tartar sauce, or your choice of accompaniment. Enjoy!
