Ingredients
Scale
1 (15 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
1 cup bread crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, bread crumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the salmon patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of paprika or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.
If you don’t have bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or panko.
These patties can be made ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or oven.
