Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon cooked and flaked

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