πŸ₯˜ Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 cups cooked salmon (or 2 cans, drained)

  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

πŸ‘©‍🍳 How to Make Salmon Patties

Step 1: Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, eggs, mustard, lemon juice, and seasonings. Mix until just combined.

Step 2: Shape the Patties

Form the mixture into small patties (about 6–8). If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.

Step 3: Pan-Fry the Patties

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon and your favorite dipping sauce.


🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a fresh green salad.
  • Serve on a bun as a salmon burger.
  • Add to a grain bowl with quinoa and roasted veggies.
  • Enjoy with a side of tartar sauce or garlic aioli.

🌟 Tips for Success

  • Use canned salmon for convenience or leftover cooked salmon for freshness.
  • Don’t overmix – it keeps the patties tender.
  • Chill the patties for 10 minutes before frying to help them hold shape.
  • For a healthier version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes instead of frying.

🧊 Storage & Meal Prep

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze uncooked patties on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in a skillet or oven for best texture.
