Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 can (14.75 oz) pink salmon, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, green onions, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
