How to make easy Fried Salmon Patties

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the salmon filet skin-side down, brush with 1 Tbsp olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Bake uncovered for 10-15 min, depending on the thickness, just until cooked through.

Dice the onion and red pepper into small fine pieces and set aside.

Remove the salmon from the oven and cover with foil. Let it rest about 10 minutes.

Discard the salmon skin, flake the meat with two forks. Remove any bones, and allow to cool.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp butter and the finely diced onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir occasionally until softened about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooled flaked salmon, cooked onion and bell pepper, Panko bread crumbs, beaten egg, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and minced fresh parsley. Stir to combine.

Form into 4 round patties and press them into 1/2″ thickness.

In the same frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp cooking oil and 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat.

Place the salmon cakes in the hot pan and cook about 4 min per side or until golden brown and cooked through. If salmon patties brown too quickly, reduce the heat.

Remove the salmon cakes to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.

Serve and Enjoy!
