How to Make Classic Salmon Patties

1. Prepare Salmon

Drain a 14-ounce can of salmon. Remove any bones and skin. Place the cleaned salmon in a mixing bowl and flake it gently with a fork.

2. Add Vegetables and Egg

Add half a cup of finely chopped onion and a quarter cup of finely chopped celery to the bowl. Crack one large egg into the mixture.

3. Add Breadcrumbs and Seasonings

Add half a cup of breadcrumbs. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

4. Shape Patties

Shape the salmon mixture into patties, roughly the size of your palm.

5. Cook Patties

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and Serve

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm, perhaps with a dollop of tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Variations

Flavor Variations

Explore Asian-inspired, Mediterranean twist, spicy patties, or herb-infused flavors to diversify the taste of your salmon patties.

Different Proteins

Try tuna, crab meat, mashed chickpeas, or ground turkey/chicken as alternative proteins for the salmon patties.

Cooking Method Variations

Opt for baking or grilling the salmon patties for healthier alternatives to frying.

Dietary Adaptations

Make gluten-free, keto-friendly, or egg-free salmon patties by substituting appropriate ingredients for breadcrumbs and eggs.

Herbal Remix

Add finely chopped fresh dill, parsley, or chives to the salmon mixture for a fresh, herby note, and consider incorporating a bit of lemon zest for an aromatic citrus kick.
