Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 1 pound fresh salmon filet
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Patties
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- ½ cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
Optional for Serving
- Lemon wedges
- Tartar sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare salmon: Preheat your oven to 400˚F (205˚C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake the salmon: Place the salmon filet skin-side down on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from oven and let it rest until cool enough to handle.
- Flake the salmon: Using two forks, carefully flake the cooled salmon into a large mixing bowl. Discard any skin and bones.
- Mix patty ingredients: To the bowl with the flaked salmon, add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, ¼ cup chopped yellow onion, ½ cup dry bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty approximately 2 inches wide and ½ inch thick.
- Pan-fry patties: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place patties in a single layer without overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary. Fry each side for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain and serve: Transfer cooked patties onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, garnished with lemon wedges and accompanied by tartar sauce if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the salmon is fully cooked by checking that it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Use day-old bread crumbs for the best texture in patties.
- Feel free to customize seasonings as per your preference, such as adding dill or parsley.
- These patties can be frozen before frying; just thaw fully before cooking.
- Serve patties on a bed of salad or inside a bun for a salmon burger option.
