Salmon Patty Recipe
Description
The recipe begins with baking the salmon until cooked through, then removing skin and shredding the flesh into flakes. Mixing celery adds a subtle crunch and freshness. The egg combined with Worcestershire sauce binds the mixture along with pork rind crumbs, which serve as a gluten-free alternative to breadcrumbs.
Formed into medium-sized patties, they are chilled to set before frying. Cooking with avocado oil and butter over medium heat develops a golden crust while keeping the interior moist. The seasoning blend and Worcestershire add depth without overpowering the salmon's natural flavor.
These patties can be served as a main dish for lunch or dinner, paired with a salad, vegetables, or in a sandwich. The recipe also allows breadcrumb substitutions for non-low-carb diets, increasing versatility.
Using pork rind crumbs helps maintain a crispy, gluten-free exterior, and chilling helps patties hold together during cooking. Watch for doneness by color and firmness.
Ingredients
- 7-8 ounce salmon flaked, cooked
- 1 celery diced, stalk
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce omit for gluten-free diet
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup pork rinds
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
- Cook salmon for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool and remove skin, then shred into flakes with two forks.
- In a small bowl whisk together egg and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl mix fish, pork rind, Old Bay Seasoning, and celery together. Add in egg mix.
- Form patties (1/3 cup) and place on wax paper or parchment paper and refrigerate for a minimum of 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and oil. When melted add patties and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- Bread crumbs or panko can replace pork rind crumbs if not following low-carb or gluten-free diets.
- Chill patties before cooking to prevent falling apart during frying.
- Cook patties over medium heat until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
