Main Ingredients
- 1 can salmon (14.75 oz, drained and cleaned)
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Garnish
- 1 lemon (for garnish)
- Fresh dill (for garnish)
- Prepare the Salmon: Drain the canned salmon thoroughly, removing excess liquid. If you prefer a smoother texture, pick out any skin and bones from the salmon before mixing.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, bread crumbs, finely chopped green onions, celery, mayonnaise, and the beaten egg. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Set the patties aside on a plate.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted and hot, place the patties carefully into the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and the patties are cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked patties to serving plates. Garnish each with fresh dill and a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. These patties go well with a side of roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute bread crumbs with gluten-free crumbs or crushed crackers.
- To reduce fat, try using olive oil or cooking spray instead of butter for frying.
- Adding a pinch of black pepper or paprika can enhance the flavor of the patties.
- Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
