Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cans canned salmon (6 oz each, drained very well) or 9 oz cooked or leftover salmon, flaked
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs choose Japanese-style for extra crunch
  • 1 large egg room temperature for better binding
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise using Duke’s for its creaminess is recommended
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions scallions work great too
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin for flavor
  • lemon juice a squeeze of fresh lemon elevates the dish (optional)
  • creamy dill sauce perfect as a dip or drizzle (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the salmon thoroughly. Use a fork or paper towels to press out as much moisture as possible.
  2. In a bowl, add the drained salmon, panko bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to retain some salmon chunks.
  3. Divide the mixture into six portions and shape each into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until ready.
  2. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
  3. Remove from skillet and serve warm with lemon juice or your favorite sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. You can also prep the mixture a day in advance and refrigerate it until ready to cook.
