Ingredients
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon see note
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 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 use cooked fresh salmon vs. canned salmon if you prefer (just pop a piece in the oven or use up leftover cooked salmon). As far as canned salmon goes, I prefer sockeye salmon as it has better color and flavor, in my opinion, but it can be harder to find. Pink salmon is easily available and will work for this recipe.
- This recipe can also be found in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials cookbook.
