Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can canned salmon, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 whole egg, beaten
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, and beaten egg.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Mix everything until well combined.
Forming Patties
  1. Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty, about the size of your palm.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
  2. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet.
  3. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For best results, drain the salmon well. If mixture is too crumbly, add another egg or some mayonnaise. Chill the mixture for 30 minutes before cooking for better patty structure. Alternatively, bake patties at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
