How To Make Salmon Patties:

  1. Preparation: Begin by baking the salmon to perfection, seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper. This step is crucial for developing the base flavor.
  2. Vegetable Sautéing: Soften the onions and bell peppers in a buttery mixture. This step not only cooks the vegetables but also infuses them with rich flavors.
  3. Patty Formation: Combine the flaked salmon, sautéed veggies, and other ingredients. Pay attention to the consistency; it should be moist but not overly wet.
  4. Cooking the Patties: Fry the patties to a golden brown, ensuring a crispy exterior and a fully cooked, moist interior. Control the heat to avoid burning and achieve that perfect crust.

Storage Options:

After cooking, these Salmon Patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them a fantastic make-ahead meal option. Ensure they’re in an airtight container to maintain freshness. For longer storage, freeze the patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then warm in a skillet or oven until heated through.

Variations and Substitutions:

  1. Fish Varieties: Not a salmon fan? Try using tuna, crab, or even a white fish like cod for a different twist.
  2. Bread Crumbs Swap: For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs or even crushed gluten-free crackers.
  3. Egg-Free Patties: If you’re avoiding eggs, a flax egg (flaxseed meal mixed with water) works as a great binder.
  4. Vegan Version: Substitute the salmon with mashed chickpeas, use vegan mayo, and a vegan butter alternative for a plant-based variant.
  5. Spice it Up: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or some finely chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  6. Herb Varieties: Feel free to experiment with different herbs like dill or chives for a different flavor profile.
  7. Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free butter alternative and omit the mayonnaise or use a dairy-free version.

Each of these options allows you to tailor the recipe to your dietary needs or flavor preferences, making these Salmon Patties a versatile dish for any table.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 14 Patties

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of fresh salmon filet
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic salt Lawry’s Brand recommended, adjusted to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper or to taste
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced to yield 1 cup
  • 1/2 of a red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter divided
  • 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup of finely minced parsley

Instructions

  • Salmon Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425˚F (218˚C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Place the salmon filet in the center of the sheet, skin-side-down. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and season it with garlic salt and black pepper. Bake the salmon uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filet, or just until it is cooked through. Upon removal from the oven, cover the salmon with foil and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Proceed to flake the salmon with two forks, discarding the skin and any bones, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Vegetable Sauté: In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until they are golden and softened, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Once done, remove the skillet from heat.
  • Patty Formation: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, sautéed pepper and onion, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir the mixture to combine it thoroughly. Form the mixture into patties, using about a heaping tablespoonful for each. Mold the patties with your hands into patties approximately 2 inches wide and 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cooking the Patties: Heat a clean non-stick pan with 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon patties in a single layer. Sauté them for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. If the patties brown too quickly, reduce the heat. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat the process with the remaining oil, butter, and salmon patties.
