Ingredients

• 14 oz canned salmon
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin, if desired, then transfer it into a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.

Step 3

Use a fork to mix all the ingredients together until well combined, breaking up the salmon as you mix.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form each into patties about 2.5 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded (cook in batches if necessary).

Step 7

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm as-is or with a dipping sauce, over a salad, or in a sandwich.
