Are you a fan of Salmon Patties?          (yea or nay)
Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for salmon patties:

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked salmon (fresh or canned, drained, and flaked)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2-3 tablespoons oil (vegetable or olive) for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the mixture:In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, garlic, eggs, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and paprika.
Season with salt and pepper.
Mix until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.

Shape the patties:Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

Cook the patties:Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet (don’t overcrowd) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve: Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Pair with a salad, steamed vegetables, or rice.

Tips:

For a crunchier texture, coat the patties in additional breadcrumbs before frying.
To make them gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Enjoy your salmon patties! 😊
