Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 can (14.75 oz) salmon
Supporting Starches:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Thoroughly combine 1 can of salmon, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parsley, ¼ cup onion, 1 beaten egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until your ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gently shape the salmon mixture into 4 to 5 uniform patties, pressing them firmly so they hold together without cracking.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (375°F) for approximately 2 minutes until the surface shimmers slightly.
- Carefully place your salmon patties into the heated skillet, cooking for exactly 4 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust develops.
- Flip the patties using a spatula and cook the opposite side for an additional 4 minutes, ensuring both surfaces are crispy and heated through to an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Transfer the cooked patties onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Always use fresh or high-quality canned salmon to ensure the best flavor and texture in your patties.
- Chilling the salmon mixture for 15 minutes before forming patties helps them hold together more easily during cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to maintain the crispy exterior.
- Add extra Mediterranean flair by mixing in crumbled feta cheese or chopped kalamata olives into the salmon mixture for more depth of flavor.
