Ingredients
Scale
Canned Salmon Patties:
- 1 can (14.75 oz) pink salmon (drained, bones and skin removed if desired)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or crushed saltine crackers
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium bowl, flake the drained salmon with a fork. Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Shape the Patties: Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, pressing them firmly so they hold together.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a simple side salad.
Notes
- If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a splash of milk.
- Leftover patties can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.
