The Best fresh salmon patties recipe

I’ve always been a big fan of salmon patties, and for good reason. Not only are they incredibly easy to make, but they’re also packed with protein and omega-3s, making them a great addition to any meal.

My kids love helping me make them in the kitchen, and they’re always a hit at family gatherings. I like to serve them with a side of tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor.

The best part? They’re ready in just 20 minutes, making them perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Whether you’re serving them as a main course or as an appetizer, these salmon patties are sure to impress. And the best part?

They’re incredibly versatile – serve them on their own, or top with your favorite ingredients like avocado, bacon, or cheese. My family’s favorite way to enjoy them is with a side of roasted vegetables and quinoa.

It’s the perfect combination of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more. Plus, they’re super easy to make ahead and refrigerate or freeze for later use – just thaw and reheat when you’re ready to serve.

🥘Ingredients

For the Salmon Patties

1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and diced
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp olive oil

For Serving

Lemon wedges
Your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., tartar sauce, yogurt sauce)

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
2Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3Add the beaten egg and mix again until the mixture sticks together.
4Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
5Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
6While the oil is heating, shape the salmon mixture into 8 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
7Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the patties in the pan.
8Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and crispy.
9Flip the patties carefully to avoid breaking them.
10Once both sides are golden brown and crispy, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan.
11Let the patties cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
12Be careful not to overcook the patties, as they can become dry.
13Transfer the cooked salmon patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
14Serve the patties hot with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
15Enjoy your fresh salmon patties immediately while they are crispy and delicious.
