Ready to whip up a quick, healthy meal? Our Salmon Patties Recipe is a simple, delicious twist on fresh seafood, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 14-oz cans wild salmon drained and flaked (look for BPA-free cans)
- 1 large egg beaten (or egg substitute for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs use gluten-free or almond meal if needed
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped (mild or sweet variety)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill chopped fresh for best flavor
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard adds tang and binds
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder or one small minced clove
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika optional, for warmth
- 1 lemon zest freshly grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for pan-frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine drained salmon, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gently mix with a fork until ingredients come together.
- Shape mixture into 6 even patties, each about ¾-inch thick. Adjust breadcrumb amount for consistency if needed.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to rest before serving.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges, Greek yogurt or tartar sauce, and a side salad. Alternatively, enjoy them in a sandwich.
Notes
For firmer patties, chill shaped rounds for 10 minutes before frying. Swap breadcrumbs for almond meal for a gluten-free option. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer for future meals.
