Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans salmon, drained
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Seasonings:
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Crush the drained salmon thoroughly with a fork, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Combine 2 cans of salmon with ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup chopped parsley, ¼ cup chopped onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and sprinkle salt and pepper to create a cohesive mixture.
- Gently blend ingredients until they hold together, being careful not to overmix.
- Shape the salmon mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, pressing firmly so they maintain their shape.
- Arrange patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 375°F oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Carefully flip each patty and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until edges turn crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let patties rest for 3 minutes before serving to help them set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Patties hold together best when ingredients are evenly mixed and compacted with gentle pressure during shaping.
- Fresh salmon works wonderfully, but canned salmon provides a convenient and budget-friendly alternative.
- For gluten-free adaptation, swap breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free panko to maintain the crispy texture.
- Serve these patties with tzatziki, Greek salad, or atop mixed greens for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
