# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 large egg, beaten
02 -
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or smashed saltine crackers
03 -
1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped tiny (optional, but makes it colorful)
04 -
1/4 cup onion, chopped super fine
05 -
1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained and broken up
→ Seasonings & Binders
06 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
07 -
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (gives a punch if you add it)
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
09 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
11 -
2 tablespoons mayo
→ For Cooking & Serving
12 -
Fresh lemon wedges to squeeze on top while eating
13 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking in the pan
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss your cooked patties onto paper towels for a sec so the oil drips off, then pass around while hot with a side of lemon to squirt over each one.
02 -
Gently lay your patties in the hot oil. Let them fry for about 3 to 4 minutes per side till they're crispy and golden. Do a few at a time if your pan's not big enough.
03 -
Pour the veggie oil into your pan and set it to medium. Let it get hot but not so hot it's smoking.
04 -
Scoop the mix into six lumps and press them into patties, making each one about half an inch thick. They shouldn't fall apart easily.
05 -
Grab a big bowl. Dump in your broken-up salmon (fish out those big bones if you want), onion, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, egg, mayo, lemon juice, mustard, and all the seasonings. Stir everything together till it sticks.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Crushed crackers or breadcrumbs are both tasty options
02 -
Make these ahead and keep 'em in the fridge until you're ready to cook
03 -
Fresh chopped dill or parsley makes these even yummier
