  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salmon Patties

  • 1¼ pound salmon filet
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt (divided)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • ¾ cup bread crumbs
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt (to finish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375℉ to prepare for baking the salmon.
  2. Prepare Salmon: Brush the salmon filet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season it evenly with ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt to enhance the flavor.
  3. Bake Salmon: Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork at its thickest point. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the baked salmon, mayonnaise, eggs, thinly sliced green onions, bread crumbs, all-purpose flour, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Form Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into 4 to 6 equal-sized patties for even cooking.
  6. Heat Skillet: Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Wait until the oil shimmers and moves easily when the pan is tilted.
  7. Cook Patties: Add the salmon patties to the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until they are darkened in color and start to crisp. Flip the patties and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side until fully cooked and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove the salmon patties from the skillet, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious salmon patties!

Notes

  • Make sure not to overbake the salmon to keep the patties moist.
  • You can substitute bread crumbs with crushed crackers for different texture and flavor.
  • These patties are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven.
  • For a healthier alternative, you can use low-fat mayonnaise.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice on top before serving complements the flavors nicely.
