Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • ½ cup finely diced onion
  • 12 ounces flaked salmon 2 cans, or 2-3 cups leftover flaked salmon
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs divided
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 ½ teaspoons dried dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or as needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Zest the lemon and juice 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for serving.
  2. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Cool.

  5. Place the remaining ½ cup breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dip the salmon patties into the breadcrumbs and gently press to adhere. Place in a refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour (this helps them to hold their shape).

  7. Serve with tartar sauce and additional herbs if desired.

Notes

  • To Bake Fresh Salmon Filets: Season salmon filets (about 6oz each) with salt and pepper. Bake, skin side down, at 400°F for 12-14 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Check the salmon early to ensure it doesn't overcook. Cool completely and flake with a fork before using.
  • Store leftover salmon patties in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
