Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 14.75 ounce can canned salmon

Method
 

  1. Start by assembling all the necessary ingredients for the salmon patties.
  2. Begin the preparation by draining the salmon, setting aside the liquid for later use. Transfer the salmon into a medium mixing bowl. Incorporate the bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, and egg into the salmon, mixing thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
  3. If the salmon mixture appears too dry, gradually add the reserved liquid until it reaches the desired consistency. Next, shape the mixture into evenly sized patties, ready for cooking.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet. Fry them until they are beautifully golden brown, typically taking about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  5. After frying, remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  6. Serve the warm, crispy salmon patties and enjoy the delightful flavors.

Notes

When preparing these salmon patties, be sure to drain the canned salmon well to ensure the patties aren't too moist, which helps achieve that perfect crispy exterior. For an enhanced herbaceous flavor, consider using a mix of fresh dill, parsley, or chives finely chopped and blended into the mix. This will not only add a burst of freshness to the patties but also complement the natural flavors of the salmon beautifully. Enjoy crafting this simple yet satisfying dish that is sure to impress with its delightful textures and flavors.
