Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams cooked salmon (fresh or canned)
- 60 grams breadcrumbs (whole wheat or gluten-free)
- 2 pieces eggs
- 60 grams Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 50 grams red onion, finely diced
- 50 grams bell pepper, finely diced
- 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 30 milliliters olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, break apart the cooked salmon into small flakes using a fork.
Add breadcrumbs, eggs, Greek yogurt, red onion, bell pepper, parsley, garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir again to ensure the seasoning is distributed throughout the mixture.
Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, approximately 2 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with a side of salad, steamed vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce.
