Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 14.75 oz can salmon
- 1 egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Seasonings and Enhancers:
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Drain the 14.75 oz can of salmon completely, then gently break it into small flakes using your fork. Remove any stubborn skin or bones for a smoother texture.
- Add 1 egg, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ½ tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce to the salmon. Blend ingredients softly without overworking the mixture.
- Incorporate ½ cup panko breadcrumbs, ¼ cup chopped scallions, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Stir until components are just combined.
- Shape the salmon mixture into 6 uniform patties, each approximately ½ inch thick. Press gently to ensure they hold together.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and warm 2 tablespoons olive oil until it shimmers. Carefully lay patties in the pan, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, creating a golden-brown crispy exterior. Watch carefully to prevent burning and add extra oil if the pan becomes dry.
- Transfer cooked salmon patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with a fresh lemon wedge or preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- When flaking salmon, check carefully for any small bones to prevent an unpleasant surprise while eating.
- Mix ingredients gently and briefly to keep the patties tender and prevent them from becoming dense or tough.
- For a gluten-free version, swap panko breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to maintain the crispy texture.
- To boost nutrition, add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the salmon mixture for extra flavor and vitamins.
