Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Canned salmon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 small, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 3 tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Open the canned salmon and drain off any excess liquid. Remove any large bones, if present, and place the salmon in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake it into smaller pieces.
Add the eggs, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix everything together until it forms a cohesive mixture.
Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions and gently form each into a patty about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or a baking sheet.
Spread the flour on a plate. Lightly dredge each patty in the flour, shaking off any excess, to create a thin coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the patties carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the salmon patties warm with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
