These salmon patties are flaky, tender and so flavorful with crisp edges and big bites of flaked salmon. They are also super easy to make with leftover cooked salmon or canned salmon. These salmon patties always disappear fast! Serve with tartar sauce.

Ingredients

  • 14-15 oz canned salmon or salmon in packets (well drained)
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil (divided)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (1 cup, finely diced)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise*
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic salt (or sub with 1/2 tsp fine sea salt and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, or season to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parsley (finely minced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Set a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add diced onion and bell pepper and saute until golden and softened (7-9 minutes) then remove from heat.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flaked salmon, sautéed pepper and onion, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir to combine. Form into patties (about a heaping Tablespoonful each) and mold with your hands into 2" wide by 1/3 to 1/2" thick patties.*

  3. 3

    In a clean non-stick pan, heat 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter until hot then add salmon patties in a single layer. Saute for 3 to 4 min per side or until golden brown and cooked through. If salmon patties brown too fast, reduce heat. Remove finished patties to a paper-towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining oil, butter, and salmon patties.
