What You Need To Make This Salmon Patties Recipe?
Canned Salmon: Opting for a high-quality canned salmon is key here, as it’s the star of the dish. Don’t shy away from the bones or skin; they are soft, edible, and packed with calcium. Once mixed and cooked, you won’t even notice them, but your body will appreciate the nutritional boost.
Seasoned Dry Bread Crumbs: These add a fantastic texture to the patties, giving them that much-loved crispy exterior. The seasoning in the breadcrumbs also acts as a shortcut, infusing the patties with flavors that meld perfectly with the salmon. If you have a preferred blend of herbs and spices, feel free to add a pinch to personalize the flavor.
Chopped Onion: The onion is a subtle yet essential component, adding a sweet, aromatic quality to the mix. Make sure to chop it finely so that it integrates well with the other ingredients, ensuring every bite is harmoniously flavorful.
Large Egg: This is the binding agent of the operation, working its magic to hold all the ingredients together. Ensure it’s well beaten before adding it to the mix to achieve a uniform consistency throughout the patties.
Olive Oil: Choose a good quality olive oil for frying; it should have a mild flavor to complement the salmon without overshadowing it. Olive oil also has a high smoke point, ensuring a perfect sear and a deliciously crispy finish.
Steps To Make Salmon Patties:
Step 1: Grab a can of salmon. Empty the liquid. Keep it aside for now. Transfer the salmon to a mixing bowl of medium size.
Step 2: Now it’s time to add those breadcrumbs, diced onions and an egg. Use a fork to blend all the ingredients

Step 3: Take a portion of the salmon mixture. Shape it into a patty. If you find the mixture crumbly no need to worry. Just add some of the reserved salmon liquid to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 4: Put a skillet, on the stove over medium heat. Pour in some olive oil. Let it heat up. Gently place the patties in the skillet. Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they turn beautifully golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet. Let them drain on paper towels to get rid of any oil. Now you can plate them up. They’re ready, for enjoyment!
Tip:
Infuse your Salmon Patties with an extra layer of freshness and zing by incorporating finely chopped fresh herbs and lemon zest into the mixture. Parsley, dill, or chives work wonderfully with salmon and can brighten up the flavors instantly. Additionally, grate in the zest of one lemon to add a subtle citrus undertone that complements the fish perfectly.
Just a tablespoon of fresh herbs and a teaspoon of lemon zest should do the ruse. Mix these in with the other ingredients before shaping your patties. This easy trick can enhance the flavor of your Salmon Patties making them more tempting and giving them a gourmet flair.
