Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 14.75 oz of salmon (preferably wild-caught)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs or crushed saltine crackers
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise optional, for extra creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill finely chopped (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Salmon : Drain the canned salmon and remove any big bones or skin(Process accepted). Crumble the salmon in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Step 2: Mix the Ingredients : Mix in the chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers), mayonnaise, lemon juice*, garlic powder**, black pepper and salt to taste parsley / dill. Combine well and incorporated. You want the mixture to stay together but not be too moist. Add more or mayonnaise to the panko mix, depending on how dry it is.
  • Step 3: Shape the Patties : Using your hands, shape salmon mixture into small patties (like a burger patty — approx 2-3 inch in diameter). This should make 6-8 patties depending on size
  • Step 4: Cook the Patties : Preheat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat 1-2 tablespoons. When the oil is hot, add the hamburgers to your nonstick pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Be careful when you flip the burgers — they'll fall apart if your not gentle.
  • Step 5: Serve : Remove the patties from heat and drain the excess oil on absorbent paper. Serve hot with tartar sauce, lemon wedges or a fresh salad.
