Ingredients

• 2 cans (14.75 oz each) salmon, drained and flaked
• 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onion, minced garlic, mayonnaise, mustard (if using), salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2: Form the Patties

Shape the mixture into small, even patties, about 2–3 inches in diameter. Press them gently to ensure they hold together while cooking.

Step 3: Heat the Oil

In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to achieve a crispy exterior without burning the patties.

Step 4: Cook the Patties

Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid breaking.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on a paper towel if necessary. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Pair with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or a dipping sauce like tartar sauce for a complete meal.
