Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can salmon (14.75 oz can, drained and cleaned)
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg (beaten)
For Cooking and Garnish
- 4 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- 1 lemon (for garnish)
- 1 sprig dill (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Drain the can of salmon thoroughly to remove excess liquid. If you prefer a smoother texture for your patties, carefully remove any skin and bones from the salmon.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained salmon, bread crumbs, finely chopped green onions and celery, mayonnaise, and beaten egg. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined and holds together when formed.
- Form Patties: Divide the salmon mixture evenly into four portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, ensuring they are compact so they hold shape during cooking. Set the patties aside ready for cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and hot, carefully place the patties into the pan. Cook each patty for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a crispy golden-brown crust and are warmed through.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked salmon patties to a serving plate. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill and a splash of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately, optionally alongside potatoes, salad, or your preferred side dishes.
