Ingredients

Units Scale

Canned Salmon Patties:

  • 1 can (14.75 oz) pink salmon (drained, bones and skin removed if desired)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or crushed saltine crackers
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium bowl, flake the drained salmon with a fork. Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Shape the Patties: Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, pressing them firmly so they hold together.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Remove the patties and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a simple side salad.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a splash of milk.
  • Leftover patties can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.
