Ingredients

• 15 oz canned salmon
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 piece large egg
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Open the canned salmon, drain the excess liquid, and flake it into a large mixing bowl. If using canned salmon with bones and skin, mash them well; they are edible and a great source of calcium.

Step 2

Add the panko bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, green onion, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mixing bowl with the salmon.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it feels too wet, add a small amount of additional bread crumbs; if too dry, add a little more mayonnaise.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round patty, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently to avoid breaking the patties.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the salmon patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, side salad, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Enjoy!
