Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon, drained
- 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (for sauce)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (for sauce)
- 0.25 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp dried dill (for sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well using a fork, breaking apart the salmon and ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 8 equally sized patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties into the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
To make the easy sauce, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, optional hot sauce, and dried dill in a small bowl.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding a pinch of salt or more lemon juice if preferred.
Serve the salmon patties warm with a dollop of the easy sauce on top or on the side.
Garnish with additional parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon and enjoy!
