🐟 Salmon Patties

 


👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture

In a large bowl, combine:

  • flaked salmon

  • breadcrumbs

  • eggs

  • chopped onion

  • mayonnaise

  • mustard (if using)

  • garlic powder

  • black pepper

  • parsley

Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together. Add more breadcrumbs if too wet.

2. Form Patties

Shape the mixture into 6–8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

3. Heat the Pan

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Fry the Patties

Carefully place the patties in the hot oil.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and Serve

Remove patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with:

  • tartar sauce

  • lemon wedges

  • or a fresh side salad 

💡 Tips for Perfect Salmon Patties

  • Canned salmon tip: If using salmon with skin or bones, remove them for smoother patties.

  • Healthier option: Bake patties at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.

  • Add flavor: Mix in a little Old Bay seasoning or smoked paprika for a twist.

  • Make ahead: Patties can be formed and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking.
