Salmon Patties

Drain the liquid from the canned salmon and place the salmon in a large bowl. (If you don’t have skinless/boneless salmon, make sure to remove all the bones and the skin from the salmon). Break up the salmon in the bowl with a fork.

Add the finely diced onion, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.

Now begin to shape the salmon mixture into large patties. Take 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture and shape the patties with your hands. You should end up with 6-7 patties. Set the patties to the side.

Heat the cooking oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.** Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet and cook in 2 batches. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.*** Gently flip the patties over when cooking on the second side to keep them from breaking apart.

Rest the cooked patties on a wire rack. Serve hot with extra lemon wedges (optional) and your favorite sides.
