Ingredients

• 14 oz canned salmon (boneless and skinless)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Open the can of salmon, drain it, and add the salmon to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the salmon into smaller pieces.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs a tablespoon at a time. If it's too dry, add a small amount of mayonnaise.

Step 4

Form the mixture into 4 round patties, about half an inch thick.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Flip the patties carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until crispy and fully cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain briefly on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Serve the salmon patties hot with your favorite dipping sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon, or alongside a crisp salad.
