Servings: 6
Ingredients:
• 3 5-oz cans skinless, boneless pink salmon
• ¼ cup onion, finely diced
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• 1 large egg
• 5 tbsp plain breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ⅓ cup cooking oil
Directions:
- • Drain the salmon, place it in a large bowl, and break it up with a fork.
- • Add onion, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs and lemon juice to the salmon and mix until well combined.
- • Take 3-4 tablespoons of the salmon mixture and shape it into a large patty. You should end up with 6-7 patties.
- • Heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown. Cook them in 2 batches to prevent overcrowding.
- • Let the patties rest on a wire rack before serving.
