Ingredients

Scale
  • 14–15 oz canned salmon or salmon in packets, well drained
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil, divided
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion, 1 cup, finely diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic salt, or sub with 1/2 tsp fine sea salt and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, or season to taste
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables:
    • Set a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter.
    • Add diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until golden and softened (7-9 minutes). Remove from heat.
  2. Prepare Salmon Mixture:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flaked salmon, sautéed pepper and onion, bread crumbs, beaten egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
    • Stir to combine.
  3. Form Patties:
    • Form the mixture into patties (about a heaping Tablespoonful each) and mold with your hands into 2″ wide by 1/3 to 1/2″ thick patties.
  4. Cook Patties:
    • In a clean non-stick pan, heat 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter until hot.
    • Add salmon patties in a single layer and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
    • If salmon patties brown too fast, reduce heat.
    • Remove finished patties to a paper-towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining oil, butter, and salmon patties.

Serving:
Serve the salmon patties hot, garnished with parsley and accompanied by tartar sauce. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!

Notes

  • You can substitute canned salmon with leftover cooked salmon. Just make sure it’s boneless and skinless, and flake it before using.
  • If the salmon mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of mayo. If it’s too moist, add more bread crumbs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet or air fryer.
