Old Fashioned Salmon Patties Recipe

1 can pink salmon (14.75 oz )

1 large egg

⅓ cup onion, finely chopped

Lemon Juice- freshly squeezed

Garlic Salt: about 1 tsp (optional)

Black Pepper: about 1/4 tsp

Worcestershire Sauce: about 1 tsp (optional)

Mayonnaise: about 2 tbsp (optional)

Parsley: finely minced, about 1/4 cup

1/2 cup panko

1½ teaspoons salt

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1½ cups vegetable oil 

Directions:

Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet (such as a cast iron pan) over medium heat. It should be 350°F–375°F Don’t fill the skillet more than half full with oil.

Drain the can of salmon and reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice in a small bowl. Pick out any bones.

Whisk the egg in a large bowl. Add the salmon, ⅓ cup onion, ½ cup panko, and 1½ teaspoons salt.

Whisk 1½ teaspoons baking powder into the reserved salmon juice. Pour that into the salmon and flour mixture, and mix gently until combined.

Shape the mixture into patties, roughly 2 inches in diameter. Pack firmly but not too tightly. This helps them not to become crumbly.

*Fry in 1½ cups hot oil for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, another 2 minutes.

Drain on a paper towel lined plate.

Since I'm a disaster at frying I popped them in the air fryer! SO EASY!
