Ingredients
Scale
For the Cakes:
- 1 can (14.75 oz) canned salmon, drained
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs (or panko)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or dill
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the drained canned salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, chopped green onions, parsley (or preferred herb), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
- 2. Form the Patties:
- With clean hands, shape the mixture into small patties about the size of your palm. If they seem crumbly, don’t worry; they will hold together while cooking.
- 3. Cook the Patties:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- 4. Drain Excess Oil:
- After cooking, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- 5. Serve:
- Enjoy your salmon cakes hot with a squeeze of lemon juice or your favorite dipping sauce.
