Directions
- Prepare the Salmon Mixture
- Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin (optional, as they are edible). Flake the salmon with a fork in a mixing bowl.
- Add breadcrumbs, beaten egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced onion, parsley, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when shaped. If too dry, add a little more mayonnaise; if too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
- Shape the Patties
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into round patties about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick.
- Fry the Patties
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently using a spatula.
- Servir
- Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges.
Notes
- To prevent crumbling, let the patties rest for a few minutes before frying.
- Healthier alternative: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned salmon?
Yes! If using fresh salmon, cook it first by baking, steaming, or pan-searing, then flake it before mixing it with the other ingredients.
