Here’s a simple, tasty way to make salmon patties (crispy outside, soft inside):


🐟 Salmon Patties

Salmon

Ingredients

  • 1 can salmon (or cooked flaked salmon)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
  • 2 tbsp onion (finely chopped)
  • 1–2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for moisture)
  • 1 tsp mustard (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients
    In a bowl, combine salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, salt, pepper, and optional mayo/mustard.
  2. Form patties
    Shape into small round or oval patties. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat pan
    Add oil to a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook
    Fry patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain
    Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Tips for best results

  • Chill mixture 10–15 minutes before shaping for firmer patties
  • Don’t flip too early—let a crust form first
  • Add chopped herbs (parsley or dill) for extra flavor

Serving ideas

  • With lemon wedges
  • In a sandwich or burger bun
  • With yogurt or tartar-style sauce
  • Alongside salad or rice

If you want, I can also give you an oven-baked version (healthier) or a spicy Pakistani-style salmon cutlet version.
