Ingredients
For the Patty Base:
- 14-15 oz canned salmon or salmon in packets well drained
- ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic salt or 1/2 tsp fine sea salt + 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup parsley finely minced
For the Sautéed Vegetables:
- 1 medium yellow onion about 1 cup, finely diced
- ½ red bell pepper seeded and diced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
For Cooking Patties:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook diced onion and bell pepper until softened and golden, about 7–9 minutes. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine flaked salmon, sautéed veggies, panko, egg, mayo, Worcestershire, garlic salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir gently.
- Form mixture into 2-inch patties about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Add mayo if dry, or more panko if too wet.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat if browning too fast.
- Drain patties on paper towels. Serve warm with tartar or favorite sauce.
