🥘Ingredients

For the Salmon Patties

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and finely chopped
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Lemon Dill Sauce

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
1 clove garlic, minced

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
2Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3Add the beaten egg to the salmon mixture and stir until the mixture sticks together when squeezed.
4If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
5If it is too dry, add a small amount of water.
6Shape the salmon mixture into 4 equal patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
7Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
8While the patties are chilling, prepare the lemon dill sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and garlic in a small bowl.
9Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
10Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
11Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the salmon patties.
12Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
13Be careful when flipping to avoid breaking the patties.
14If the patties start to stick, add a small amount of oil to the pan.
15Once the patties are cooked through and no longer translucent in the middle, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
16Serve the patties hot with the lemon dill sauce on the side.

📝Notes

Tips: To make the patties even healthier, use whole grain breadcrumbs or oats instead of regular breadcrumbs. You can also bake the patties in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, instead of pan-frying them.
