These crispy, golden salmon patties are a quick and easy weeknight dinner made with canned salmon, breadcrumbs, and simple seasonings. Perfect served with a squeeze of lemon and tartar sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 cans (14.75 oz each) salmon, drained and flaked
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, panko, onion, celery, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape mixture into 8 patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
3. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties in batches (do not crowd) for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
