Ingredients

• 14 oz Canned salmon
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Onion, finely diced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for creamed peas)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for creamed peas)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, diced onion, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly golden.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking and cooking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the frozen peas, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir to coat the peas in the creamy mixture and allow them to heat through, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for both the salmon patties and creamed peas.

Step 9

Serve the salmon patties warm alongside a generous helping of creamed peas. Enjoy!
