Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (14.75 ounces each) canned salmon
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Drain two 14.75-oz cans of salmon completely, then flake the fish into small pieces using a fork.
- Mix the flaked salmon with 1 cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup chopped onion, and ¼ cup fresh parsley in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the salmon mixture and blend thoroughly with your hands until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into 4-5 patties, each about 3 inches wide and ½ inch thick, pressing firmly to help them hold together.
- Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one for even cooking.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 400°F oven and bake for 10 minutes until the bottom starts turning golden.
- Carefully flip each patty and return to the oven for another 10 minutes until both sides are crispy and brown.
Notes
- Drain canned salmon well and remove any small bones for a smoother texture.
- Use fresh breadcrumbs instead of store-bought for a lighter, more delicate patty.
- Add a dash of Old Bay seasoning or dill for extra flavor complexity without overwhelming the salmon.
- Line the baking sheet with a silicone mat for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
