These homemade fresh salmon patties recipe is loaded up with peppers and fresh herbs and are pan-roasted to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds of skinless fresh wild-caught salmon
  • ¼ peeled and small diced red onion
  • 1 seeded and small diced red bell pepper
  • 2 finely minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 4 thinly sliced fresh green onions
  • 3 whisked eggs
  • 1 sleeve of saltine crackers (crushed)
  • 1/3 cup of oil for frying
  • salt (pepper, and Tabasco to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the salmon into large chunks and place it in a food processor. See chef notes about alternate way to prepare.

  2. 2

    Pulse on high speed until it becomes like a paste but also has some pea-sized salmon chunks in it.

  3. 3

    Transfer the salmon to a large bowl along with the red onion, peppers, garlic, dill, green onions, whisk eggs, crushed crackers, salt, pepper, and tabasco sauce.

  4. 4

    Mix well using your hands or a spatula and form 12 like-sized salmon patties, which are about 3-4 ounces a piece.

  5. 5

    Add the oil to a large frying pan over medium-low heat and heat to 350°. You will know it’s done when you sprinkle in a little flour, and it fries but does not burn.

  6. 6

    Cook the salmon patties in the oil for 2 ½ to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through out.

  7. 7

    Drain the salmon patties on paper towels and cook in batches if your pan is not big enough to cook all at once.

  8. 8

    Serve the salmon patties on a bed of greens and alongside my lemon-dill sauce.
