Ingredients

• 14 oz canned salmon (drained and flaked)
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 1 tsp fresh dill (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2

Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 4 salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil if needed.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and lemon juice, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional minute. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

To serve, drizzle the lemon sauce over the salmon patties and garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
