Homemade canned salmon patties deliver a quick and satisfying meal packed with protein and flavor. Classic ingredients combine for a simple seafood dinner that brings comfort to your table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can salmon (14.75 oz / 418 g, drained and cleaned)
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 2 tbsps green onions (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup celery (finely chopped)
- 4 tbsps butter (for frying)
- 1 lemon (for garnish)
- 1 dill (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Drain salmon, meticulously removing skin and bones, ensuring a pristine base for the patties.
- Mixing: Combine salmon with green onions, celery, mayonnaise, egg, and bread crumbs in a large bowl, gently folding ingredients to maintain delicate texture.
- Forming: Craft uniform circular patties with clean hands, compressing mixture to create cohesive, well-integrated salmon cakes.
- Cooking: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, carefully placing patties to develop a golden, crisp exterior, cooking 4-5 minutes per side until richly caramelized and heated through.
- Finishing: Remove patties from skillet, garnish with fresh dill and a bright squeeze of lemon juice, serving immediately alongside roasted potatoes or a vibrant garden salad.
Notes
- Drain Carefully: Remove all excess liquid from canned salmon to prevent soggy patties and ensure a perfect crispy texture.
- Bone Removal Technique: Meticulously pick out tiny bones to prevent choking hazards and create a smoother, more enjoyable eating experience.
- Binding Matters: Use fresh breadcrumbs and egg as crucial binding agents to help patties hold together during cooking and prevent crumbling.
- Avoid Overmixing: Gently fold ingredients to maintain salmon’s delicate texture and prevent tough, dense patties that lack tenderness.
