Salmon Patties

Golden salmon patties made with pantry ingredients. A classic, budget friendly family meal.

Serves: 4  |  Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cans salmon (about 14 ounces each), drained and flaked
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons oil for frying

Instructions

1. Remove any large bones and skin from the canned salmon if desired.
2. Mix the salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, mayonnaise, mustard and pepper.
3. Shape into 8 patties and chill for 10 minutes so they hold together.
4. Fry in hot oil over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden.
5. Serve with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.

Pin Tip

Wet your hands slightly when shaping the patties to keep the mixture from sticking.

Food Safety

Cook salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, measured in the thickest part, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
