Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups salmon cooked (can use fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 red pepper diced
  • 1 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup bread crumbs regular bread crumbs or Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons parsley minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • zest of 1 lemon (Optional: lemon wedges to serve)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Place the cooked salmon in a large mixing bowl and use a fork to break it up into small pieces.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the olive oil to the bowl and mix together until well incorporated.
  • Scoop out a portion of the salmon mixture and use your hands to form it into a patty. Repeat with all of the salmon mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a few salmon patties to the skillet (or as many as you can fit in the pan you are using, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You will need to cook them in batches). Pan fry the salmon patties for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Optional: Serve with lemon wedges.
