Salmon patties are crispy, flavorful cakes made from flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, herbs, and seasonings. Quick to prepare and family-friendly, they’re perfect for weeknight dinners, lunches, or as savory appetizers.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked or canned salmon, drained and flaked
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter for frying
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning, 1 tbsp chopped dill, or 2 tbsp chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix until well combined. Adjust texture with more breadcrumbs if too wet, or a splash of milk or an extra egg if too dry.
  3. Form mixture into 6–8 patties, using about 1/4 cup of mixture per patty. Flatten slightly.
  4. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil if needed.
  7. Serve warm with lemon wedges, dipping sauce, or on a sandwich bun.

Notes

Add dill or chives for extra flavor.Use crushed crackers instead of breadcrumbs if preferred.Make smaller patties for appetizers or sliders.Chill patties before cooking to help them hold together better.Try baking instead of frying for a lighter option.
