Salmon patties
Salmon patties are pan-fried patties made from canned or cooked salmon, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings. They’re a quick, protein-packed meal, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

- 1 cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
- Form patties
- Shape the mixture into 4–6 patties, about ½ inch thick.
- Fry the patties
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips
- For extra crispiness, coat the patties lightly in additional breadcrumbs before frying.
