Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) salmon, drained and flaked (or 1 cup cooked fresh salmon, flaked)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs if desired)
  • 1 large egg (or 1/4 cup mashed avocado combined with 1 tsp natural gelling agent for egg substitute)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley (fresh)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional Variations

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or finely chopped fresh chili for spicy kick
  • Swap parsley with dill or cilantro for herb variation
  • Lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice for citrus note
  • Gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts for gluten-free option

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather the salmon. If using canned salmon, drain thoroughly and flake with a fork. Finely chop the onion and parsley to provide freshness and subtle texture to the patties. Combine all the dry and fresh ingredients in a large bowl to prepare for mixing.
  2. Mix the Patties: In the bowl, add the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs (or mashed avocado with natural gelling agent), chopped onion, parsley, garlic powder, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined to keep the patties tender and light.
  3. Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties about 3 inches in diameter and half an inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and let them rest for approximately 10 minutes to help bind and meld flavors.
  4. Cook the Salmon Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even crispiness. Remove and drain on paper towels to eliminate excess oil.

Notes

  • Use cold salmon for better patty shape retention.
  • Rest patties before cooking to improve texture and flavor absorption.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
  • Customize fresh herbs to your taste to boost flavor.
  • Cook a test patty first to adjust seasoning as needed.
