Ingredients:
2 (14.75 oz) cans of pink salmon, drained and flaked
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended for crunch)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well-blended. - Shape the Patties:
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, approximately 2-3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. This recipe yields 8-10 patties. - Heat the Oil:
In a skillet, add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom (around 1/4 inch deep). Heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. - Fry the Patties:
Place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry each patty for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary. - Drain and Serve:
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Recipe Notes:
Serve these patties with tartar sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Pair with a fresh green salad, steamed vegetables, or buttery grits for a complete Southern-inspired meal.
