Ingredients

  • 14 oz canned salmon
  • 1 unit large egg
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin. Flake the salmon into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix until fully combined.

Step 3

Use clean hands to shape the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter. The recipe should yield about 6-8 patties.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

Step 5

Fry the salmon patties in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Serve warm with a side of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
