Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans (14.75 ounces each) canned salmon, drained
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Mix. Combine drained salmon, panko, egg, mayo, mustard, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with a fork (don't over-mix or they get tough). Form into 6 patties.
  2. Chill. Place patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes. This helps them hold together in the pan.
  3. Fry. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve. Serve with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or on a bun with lettuce and tomato.

Notes

Drain the salmon well. Excess liquid makes soggy patties. Chilling before frying helps them hold together. Don't press down on the patties while cooking. Let them develop a crust.
