Ingredients
- 400 grams cooked salmon (flaked, with no skin or bones)
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs (for dredging)
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon, plain breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, beaten egg, chopped green onion, lemon juice, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix everything together gently until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to maintain a tender texture.
Step 3
Using your hands, divide the salmon mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each salmon patty in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Fry the salmon cakes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with a side of lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
