Servings: 4
- 1 lb. cooked salmon chilled and flaked (~4 cups shredded salmon)*
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 red bell pepper finely diced
- 1/2 small white onion minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon mayonaisse
- 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
First, remove the skin from your salmon and discard. Then, place salmon into a large bowl and use a spoon to break the salmon up into small shredded chunks.
Next, add the breadcrumbs, bell pepper, white onion, parsley, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, egg, mayo, tabasco, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bowl.
Using a spoon or hands, mix all of the ingredients together until the ingredients stick together and form a ball. Form the salmon patties by using a 1/3 cup scoop and make 10-12 small balls out of the salmon mixture. After all the balls are formed, carefully make patties out of each ball by gently patting them down between your hands. Set them on a plate and repeat until all the patties are made.
Next, heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. When the olive oil is fragrant, add 3-4 patties to the pan (if there is room) and cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the salmon patties brown. Remove from heat. Add another tablespoon of olive oil and repeat until all the patties are cooked.
Enjoy them alone, on top of a salad, or get creative!
