Ingredients
Scale
- 3 (5 oz.) cans boneless skinless salmon
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- A few dashes of seasoned salt
- ¼ teaspoon cilantro (optional)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon parsley
- Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
- 1 fresh lime (for serving)
- Tartar sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Drain the cans of salmon and remove any bones or skin. Flake the salmon with a fork and place it in a large bowl.
- Mix the ingredients: Add the milk, panko bread crumbs, eggs, salt, black pepper, seasoned salt, cilantro, onion powder, and parsley to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Form the patties: Scoop out a portion of the salmon mixture and shape it into a patty about 3-4 inches in diameter. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Fry the patties: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the salmon patties with a squeeze of fresh lime and a side of tartar sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can freeze the patties for later. Just form the patties and place them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for storage. Fry from frozen when you’re ready to eat.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salmon mixture.
- You can serve these salmon patties on a bun for a seafood burger, or alongside a fresh salad.
