Ingredients

2 cans salmon, 14.75 ounces each, drained and flaked

2 large eggs

3/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/3 cup finely diced onion

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying

For Serving

Fresh lemon wedges

Tartar sauce, remoulade, or your favorite dipping sauce

Fresh parsley, optional

Preparation Steps

Drain the salmon well and place it in a large mixing bowl. Flake it with a fork and remove any large bones or skin if desired.

Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Mix gently until everything is evenly combined. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb some moisture.

Divide the mixture into 6 to 8 portions and shape each portion into a firm patty.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the salmon patties in batches without overcrowding the pan.

Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until deeply golden, crispy, and heated through.

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Tip

Serve the salmon patties hot with fresh lemon wedges and a creamy tartar or remoulade sauce for the perfect finishing touch.
