Salmon Patty Ingredients

Making salmon patties is super simple and fun! You’ll need fresh salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, and some herbs to bring it all together. These ingredients create a tasty dish that’s perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

Step 1: Flake The Salmon

Start by taking your cooked salmon and placing it in a bowl. Use a fork to flake it into smaller pieces, making it easier to mix with the other ingredients. This step is key for a tasty salmon patty!

Step 2: Add The Seasonings

Now it’s time to bring your salmon patties to life with some tasty seasonings. Mix in some chopped green onions, a squeeze of lemon, and your favorite spices to really enhance the flavor. Don’t forget to add a bit of mayo and an egg to help everything stick together!

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Add Ingredients to the Salmon: Mix in breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 3: Mix The Patty Mixture

Now it’s time to mix everything together! In a large bowl, combine your cooked salmon, breadcrumbs, and chopped green onions. Stir until everything is well blended and holds together nicely.

Step 4: Shape The Patties

Now it’s time to shape those salmon patties! Grab a handful of the mixture and form it into a nice round patty, about an inch thick. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.

Instructions

1. Shape Patties: Take a handful of the mixture and form it into patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
2. Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet. Alternatively, place the patties onto parchment paper (I prefer this way).

Step 5: Cook The Salmon Patties

Now it’s time to cook those delicious salmon patties! Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy.

My Tip: You can also pop them in the oven if you prefer!

Step 7: Serve And Garnish

Once your salmon patties are golden and crispy, it’s time to serve them up! Pair them with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dollop of your favorite sauce for extra flavor. Add a side of greens for a colorful touch!
