Absolutely! Here’s a classic, flavorful salmon patties recipe that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or brunch.
Salmon Patties Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14–15 oz) salmon, drained and flaked (or 1 cup cooked fresh salmon)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works well for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (optional)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Mix the Patty Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when formed into patties.
2. Form the Patties
- Shape the mixture into 6–8 patties, about 2–3 inches in diameter.
3. Cook the Patties
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry patties 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve
- Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a simple salad.
Tips:
- For extra binding, add 1–2 tbsp flour or an additional egg if the mixture feels too wet.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.
- You can also bake the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, for a lighter version.
If you want, I can give a quick version using canned salmon with minimal ingredients that’s perfect for a 20-minute meal but still tastes homemade.
Do you want me to provide that quick version?
