Description
Mediterranean Salmon Patties are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, made with flaky salmon, fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic. They’re perfect for a quick, healthy meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked salmon (fresh, leftover, or canned)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for pan frying)
Instructions
- Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl, removing any skin or bones if necessary.
- Add eggs, breadcrumbs, red onion, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined, then form into small patties (2–3 inches in diameter).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties in batches, 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm with lemon wedges or dipping sauce.
Notes
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or crumbled feta for variation.
- Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs for a low-carb version.
- Can substitute salmon with canned tuna.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes for a lighter option.
