Salmon Patties
Salmon Patties combine cooked, flaked salmon with aromatics like garlic, ginger, and green onions, along with panko crumbs and seasonings, to form flavorful patties pan-fried to a golden brown. The patties have a tender, slightly crisp texture from the panko and a balanced taste from Italian seasoning, paprika, and lemon zest. They can be served simply with a dipping sauce or used as salmon burgers, making them versatile for meals with rice or salads.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon cooked and flaked
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated, fresh
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs plain
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce optional
- lemon zest of one
- canola oil to cook the patties, or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place salmon skin-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet, and season with some salt and pepper. Brush with olive oil, and bake it for 10 minutes (uncovered) in the oven at 425˚F.
- Once baked, discard the skin, and flake the salmon with a fork. If it has any bones, remove them.
- Next, add to the salmon the rest of the ingredients, and mix them together using your hands.
- Use an ice cream scoop for portioning so each salmon patty is about the same size, and make it into patties.
- In a skillet, add some canola or vegetable oil, about 1 inch from the surface. Once the oil is sizzling, add the patties to the pan. Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown, turning gently.
- Drain on paper towels and serve as is with a dipping sauce, or make salmon burgers, serve with rice, or on top of salads.
