Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon (skinless and boneless)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat preferred)
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and add it to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the salmon into smaller pieces.
Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Gently mix the ingredients together using a fork or your hands until well combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender patties.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter each, and place them on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the patties to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to blot excess oil.
Serve the salmon patties warm with a side of greens, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
