Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Canned salmon
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for creamed peas)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for creamed peas)
Instructions
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin, if desired. Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Add breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, diced onion, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly golden.
Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking and cooking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the frozen peas, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir to coat the peas in the creamy mixture and allow them to heat through, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for both the salmon patties and creamed peas.
Serve the salmon patties warm alongside a generous helping of creamed peas. Enjoy!
