Description

These Easy Salmon Patties are a quick and delicious seafood dish perfect for a weeknight dinner. Made with canned salmon, breadcrumbs, and flavorful seasonings, these crispy patties are a family favorite.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 6–8 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
