Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained of all but 2 tablespoons of the can liquid, flaked
  • 1 large slice bread (crust removed), shredded (1 cup, 50 g)
  • 3 tablespoons green onion, chopped (including the green parts)
  • 1 medium garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 3 tablespoons green bell pepper, minced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Several turns of freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, gently mix together the salmon (including 2 tablespoons of the can liquid), shredded bread, chopped green onion, minced garlic, chopped dill, minced green bell pepper, flour, egg, sweet paprika, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  2. Form patties: Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, each about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well for cooking.
  3. Chill the patties: Cover the formed patties and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours. This resting time helps the patties firm up and hold their shape better during cooking.
  4. Heat the oil: Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until shimmering and hot enough to sizzle the patties on contact.
  5. Fry the patties: Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Cook until they are golden brown and crisp on both sides, and heated through.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides or sauces. Optionally, let us know how you enjoyed the recipe by leaving a rating or review.
