Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14.75 oz) wild-caught canned salmon, drained and flaked
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or light mayo)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined but not mushy.
- Form mixture into small patties about 2 inches wide and place on a plate lined with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook half of the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties.
- Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped herbs like dill or parsley.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, swap breadcrumbs for crushed crackers or add finely diced vegetables like bell peppers.
