Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 15 ounces (425 grams) canned salmon, large bones removed
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (60 grams) breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup (33 grams) shredded Parmesan cheese
Aromatics and Herbs:
- 1 small bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallion
Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- Delicately break down canned salmon into fine, uniform flakes using a fork in a medium-sized mixing bowl, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Gently fold in breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced onion, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing until all ingredients are evenly distributed and well-combined.
- Using clean hands, form the salmon mixture into compact patties approximately 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter, applying gentle pressure to help them hold together.
- Prepare a large skillet by pouring enough vegetable oil to create a thin layer, heating over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place salmon patties into the hot oil, allowing them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom develops a crisp, golden-brown crust.
- Flip the patties using a spatula and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring both sides are evenly browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the cooked salmon patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, which helps maintain their crispy exterior and prevents sogginess.
- Serve immediately with a fresh lemon wedge, tartar sauce, or your preferred dipping condiment for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
