Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained and flaked
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion (if using), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together when formed.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. This size ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable or olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Pan-Fry the Patties: Carefully place the salmon patties into the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are heated through.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh cooked salmon for canned salmon if preferred.
- Adding finely chopped herbs like parsley or dill enhances the flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts.
- Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
