Ingredients

• 14 oz canned salmon
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp ginger, freshly grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, beaten egg, and sesame oil to the bowl.

Step 3

Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into 6 patties, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, gently place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Serve the Oriental Salmon Patties warm, garnished with sesame seeds if desired, and with optional lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the top.
