Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb fresh salmon, cooked and flaked

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

  • 1/3 cup green onions, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.

  • Add green onions, parsley, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Mix well until ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  • Shape the mixture into small patties.

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Cook the salmon cakes for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Notes

  • You can use canned salmon if fresh is unavailable—just drain and flake well.

  • For extra crunch, chill the patties before frying.

  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven.
