Ingredients
- 14 oz Canned salmon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 small, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 3 tbsp Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Open the canned salmon and drain off any excess liquid. Remove any large bones, if present, and place the salmon in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake it into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Add the eggs, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix everything together until it forms a cohesive mixture.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions and gently form each into a patty about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or a baking sheet.
Step 4
Spread the flour on a plate. Lightly dredge each patty in the flour, shaking off any excess, to create a thin coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the patties carefully using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the salmon patties warm with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
