Ingredients
Scale
- 3 (5 oz.) cans boneless, skinless salmon
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- A few dashes of seasoned salt
- ¼ tsp cilantro (optional)
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp parsley
- Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
- 1 fresh lime (for serving)
- Tartar sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, drain the canned salmon and remove any bones if present. Flake the salmon with a fork.
- Add the milk, eggs, Panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper, seasoned salt, cilantro, onion powder, and parsley to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a firm mixture.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to fry in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the patties and serve with tartar sauce for dipping.
Notes
- If you want to make the patties ahead of time, you can refrigerate the uncooked patties for up to 30 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape better.
- You can also bake the patties in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for a healthier alternative to frying.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce or lemon zest to the mixture.
