Salmon Patty Ingredients
- 1 can salmon (14.75 oz can, drained and cleaned)
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg (beaten)
For Cooking and Garnish
- 4 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- 1 lemon (for garnish)
- 1 sprig dill (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Drain the canned salmon thoroughly. Remove any skin and bones if you prefer a smoother texture for the patties.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained salmon, bread crumbs, finely chopped green onions, celery, mayonnaise, and beaten egg. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round, flattened patty. Set the formed patties aside to rest briefly.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once melted and hot, place the patties in the pan. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Plate the salmon patties and garnish with fresh dill and a splash of lemon juice. These patties are delightful served alone or accompanied by a side of potatoes or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Removing bones and skin from canned salmon is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
- Use gluten-free bread crumbs to make the patties gluten-free.
- Can be served with tartar sauce or a yogurt-based dip for added flavor.
- Ensure the pan is not too hot to prevent burning the patties before fully cooking inside.
- Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
