Crispy Salmon Patties

Crispy Salmon Patties

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained and flaked (bones and skin removed)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the salmon mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Shape the Patties:
   • Using your hands, form the mixture into patties. This recipe should yield about 8-10 patties, depending on the size.
4. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Fry the Patties:
   • Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Serve:
   • Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the crispy salmon patties hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. They pair well with a side salad, tartar sauce, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

These crispy salmon patties are perfect for a quick and delicious meal, offering a flavorful and satisfying option that’s easy to prepare. Enjoy!
