Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 (5 oz.) cans boneless skinless salmon
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • A few dashes of seasoned salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 fresh lime (for garnish)
  • Tartar sauce for dipping

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon: Drain the canned salmon and place it in a large mixing bowl. Flake the salmon with a fork to break it into small pieces.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, Panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper, seasoned salt, cilantro, onion powder, and parsley to the salmon. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Form Patties: Scoop out portions of the mixture and form into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  • Fry the Patties: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  • Serve: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve with lime wedges and tartar sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can add more or less seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • If the mixture is too wet, you can add more Panko breadcrumbs to help bind it together.
  • For a healthier alternative, you can bake the patties in the oven instead of frying them.
