Why You’ll Love These Salmon Patties

Adding finely diced veggies also improves the nutrients and gives a little crunch. These patties have an irresistibly crunchy surface thanks to the addition of Panko bread crumbs.
Ultimately, this recipe is adaptable to a wide range of dietary requirements, making it a hit at any gathering.
Ingredients Notes:
Welcome to the world of easy and delicious Salmon Patties! Let’s break down the ingredients:
- The main attraction, salmon filet, offers a delicious, flaky basis.
- Olive oil: Aids in cooking and adds a touch of Mediterranean flair.
- Black pepper and garlic salt are traditional additions that bring out the inherent tastes of the fish.
- Red bell pepper and yellow onion provide a burst of color as well as a sweet, aromatic touch.
- Salted Butter: Adds flavor and aids in creating a golden crust.
- The key to an exterior that is crispy and textured is panko bread crumbs.
- Eggs: Hold the mixture together and help the patties maintain their shape.
- Mayonnaise: Provides a creamy consistency and more moisture.
- A sprinkle of Worcestershire sauce adds complexity and a little acidity.
- Parsley: To add a crisp, herbaceous touch.
How To Make Salmon Patties:
- Preparation: To start, bake the salmon until it’s perfectly done, seasoning it with black pepper and garlic salt. The development of the base flavor depends on this step.
- Sautéing vegetables: Use a buttery combination to soften the bell peppers and onions. In addition to cooking the veggies, this procedure gives them a deep taste.
- Flake the fish and mix it with the sautéed vegetables and other ingredients to form patties. Keep an eye on the consistency—it should be somewhat moist but not excessively so.
- Cooking the Patties: Fry the patties until they are golden brown, making sure that the inside is moist and fully cooked with a crispy outside. To get the ideal crust and prevent burning, regulate the heat.
Storage Options:
These Salmon Patties are a great alternative for a make-ahead meal because they can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days after cooking. To keep them fresh, make sure they’re in an airtight container. Freeze the patties to extend their shelf life. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container after freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet. You can freeze them for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in an oven or pan until well heated.
Variations and Substitutions:
- Fish Types: Not a fan of salmon? For a unique touch, try using crab, tuna, or even white fish like cod.
- Replace Bread Crumbs: You can substitute gluten-free bread crumbs or even crushed gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free option.
- Egg-Free Patties: Flax eggs, which are made by combining flaxseed meal and water, make excellent binders if you’re trying to avoid eggs.
- Vegan Version: For a plant-based version, replace the salmon with mashed chickpeas and add vegan mayo and vegan butter substitute.
- Add some finely sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to give it a fiery kick.
- Herb Varieties: To get a varied flavor profile, feel free to experiment with different herbs like dill or chives.
- Dairy-Free: Replace the mayonnaise with a dairy-free butter substitute and use a version without dairy.
- These Salmon Patties are a flexible dish that can be served at any table because you can adjust the recipe to suit your dietary requirements or taste preferences using any of these possibilities.
