Description
Crispy Salmon Patties are savory salmon cakes that are easy to make and delicious to eat, perfect for a quick meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14.75 ounces) pink salmon, drained and crumbled
- 1/2 cup plain or seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup creamy mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Place the crumbled salmon in a mixing bowl.
- Add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small cakes, approximately 2 to 3 inches wide, yielding about 8 cakes.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is shimmering, gently place the salmon cakes in the skillet, ensuring there is enough space between them to cook evenly.
- Fry each cake for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and a crispy exterior.
- Once cooked, transfer the cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve these delicious salmon cakes warm, either with a zesty dipping sauce or nestled in a bun for a delightful salmon burger experience.
Notes
- Enhance the flavor by folding in some chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
- For a different texture, swap the breadcrumbs for crushed crackers or panko.
