A family favorite, these Southern Fried Salmon Patties bring warmth and comfort to the dinner table, perfect for cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can canned salmon (14.75 oz, drained and flaked)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Can be substituted with crushed crackers or oats.
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1/4 cup bell pepper (diced)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Enough to coat the skillet oil (for frying)
Instructions
Preparation
- Open the canned salmon and drain it well. Flake it with a fork.
- While the salmon is draining, gather all your ingredients together.
- In a big mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, and diced bell pepper.
- Add the beaten eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mixture. Mix until fully combined.
- Shape the mixture into round patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- In a large skillet, pour enough oil to coat the bottom and heat over medium heat until hot.
Cooking
- Carefully add salmon patties to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm, optionally with remoulade or tartar sauce.
Notes
Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties for a perfect golden crust. Leftover salmon works perfectly in this recipe. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
