Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl and Spoon
  • Skillet
  • Spatula or Tongs
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Serving Platter
  • Lemon Squeezer or Grater

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh salmon cooked and flaked
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped green onions, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Shape the mixture into patties, ensuring they hold together well. If the mixture is too wet, you can add more breadcrumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve the Fried Salmon Patties hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  1. Freshness Matters: Opt for fresh salmon and herbs for superior flavor and texture.
  2. Balanced Mixture: Achieve the right consistency with a well-proportioned mix of salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings.
  3. Optimal Cooking Temperature: Preheat the skillet adequately, cook over medium heat, and flip carefully for a golden-brown exterior without burning.
  4. Serve Hot: Enjoy the patties at their best by serving immediately for a crisp exterior and tender interior.
