Salmon Patties
Salmon patties combine canned or cooked fresh salmon with flavorful ingredients like mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs, bound together with egg and panko breadcrumbs for a tender yet crisp patty. Lightly fried in olive oil, these patties develop a golden crust with a moist and flaky interior, balanced by lemon juice and optional dipping sauces. They make a versatile protein choice for casual meals served warm with sauces or lemon wedges.

Ingredients
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon see note
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup scallions chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Drain the salmon and add it to a medium prep bowl. Flake the salmon with a fork. If your salmon isn't boneless/skinless, mash the pieces in or pick those pieces out if you prefer.
- Add the remaining ingredients (except for the olive oil) to the bowl and mix together gently.
- Form into 6 patties that are about 1/2" thick.
- Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, then fry the patties in two batches for about 3-4 minutes/side or until they're lightly browned on both sides. Add a splash more oil to the pan for the second batch if needed.
- Serve warm. I love to serve these with tzatziki or remoulade sauce (or any garlicky mayo/aioli will work!) along with lemon wedges.

Notes
- You can substitute cooked fresh salmon for canned if desired, baking or using leftovers.
- Prefer sockeye canned salmon for richer flavor and color; pink salmon is an acceptable substitute.
- Serve warm with sauces such as tzatziki, remoulade, or garlicky mayonnaise-based dips and lemon wedges.
- This recipe is included in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
