Ingredients
Scale
Seafood Protein:
- 1 can salmon (14.75 ounces / 418 grams, drained and cleaned)
Binding and Flavor Enhancers:
- ⅓ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup celery (finely chopped)
Cooking and Garnish:
- 4 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- 1 lemon (for garnish)
- 1 dill (for garnish)
Instructions
- Thoroughly empty the salmon can, meticulously removing any visible skin and bones to ensure a smooth, delicate texture.
- Transfer the prepared salmon into a spacious mixing vessel, incorporating finely chopped green onions, delicately diced celery, creamy mayonnaise, whisked egg, and crisp bread crumbs.
- Gently fold the ingredients together, creating a harmonious blend that maintains the salmon’s delicate structure.
- Using clean hands, carefully form the mixture into uniform circular patties, ensuring consistent size and compact composition.
- Heat a wide skillet over medium flame, allowing butter to melt and create a golden, aromatic cooking surface.
- Carefully position the salmon patties into the sizzling pan, allowing each side to develop a rich, caramelized exterior for approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Monitor the patties closely, watching for a uniform golden-brown coloration and ensuring they are thoroughly warmed throughout.
- Transfer the crisp, golden patties to serving plates, embellishing with fragrant fresh dill and a vibrant splash of citrusy lemon juice.
- Present immediately alongside roasted potatoes or a crisp garden salad for a complete, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Drain salmon completely to avoid excess moisture, which can make patties fall apart during cooking.
- Remove tiny bones and skin for a smoother texture, especially if serving to children or those who dislike fish bones.
- Mix ingredients gently to prevent overworking the salmon, ensuring patties remain light and tender.
- Use medium heat when cooking to achieve a golden-brown exterior without burning or drying out the patties.
- Fresh herbs like dill and a squeeze of lemon brighten the flavor and cut through the richness of the salmon.
- Refrigerate mixture for 15-20 minutes before shaping patties to help them hold together better during cooking.
