Ingredients
Scale
Canned Salmon Patties:
- 2 (6 oz) cans salmon (drained, skin and bones removed)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, celery, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 6–8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve: Remove the patties and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a side salad.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, chill patties in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before frying.
- You can substitute crushed crackers for breadcrumbs or use fresh-cooked salmon instead of canned.
- These patties freeze well for meal prep.
