Ingredients
- 1 - 14.75 ounce can pink salmon
- 1/2 onion (chopped)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
Add vegetable oil to a skillet and preheat medium to medium-high. Add enough oil to cover half of the salmon patty.
- Drain the juice off the can of salmon. (Save in case the juice is needed later)
- Check for bones.
- Add the chopped onions, eggs, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
- Mix together and shape into patties.
- Fry in vegetable oil for approximately five minutes on each side, or until each side is browned.
- Place on a paper towel to soak up the grease.
Notes
- You can use Panko or regular breadcrumbs. Some people love to use Saltine cracker crumbs.If the patties are too dry, add a little bit of the reserved juice. If they are too wet, add some more breadcrumbs.
- Have some lemon wedges nearby to squeeze a little on top.
- You can use canned or fresh salmon (cooked). If you have leftover cooked salmon from another recipe, that would make great patties.
