Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh salmon fillet (or canned salmon, drained)
• 1 large egg
• 60 grams panko breadcrumbs (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
• 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh salmon, bake or steam the salmon until fully cooked, then let it cool. Flake the salmon into small pieces using a fork and set aside. Skip this step if using canned salmon.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, egg, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), green onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about 1.5 cm thick.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the patties from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the salmon patties warm with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or a yogurt-based dipping sauce.
