Ingredients

• 14 ounces canned pink salmon
• 1 piece large egg
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned pink salmon and flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Remove any large bones if desired.

Step 2

Add the egg, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the salmon.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

Step 4

Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) and set them aside on a plate.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, place the salmon patties in the skillet, leaving enough space between them to flip comfortably.

Step 7

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid burning.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a slice of lemon, or on a bun as a salmon burger.
