Ingredients You Need for Pioneer Woman Salmon Patties

• Canned salmon (drained) – 2 cups
• Eggs – 2 large
• Breadcrumbs – 1/2 cup
• Onion (finely chopped) – 1 small
• Garlic (minced) – 2 cloves
• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
• Salt – 1 tsp
• Black pepper – 1/2 tsp
• Fresh parsley (chopped) – 2 tbsp
• Oil (for frying) – 2 tbsp

Instructions

1. Prepare the Salmon

Drain canned salmon well. Remove any bones if needed. Place it in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it into small flakes for smooth patties.

2. Add Eggs and Mix

Add eggs to the salmon. Mix well until fully combined. The eggs help bind everything together and keep the patties firm while cooking.

3. Add Flavor Ingredients

Add chopped onion, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix everything well so the flavors spread evenly in the mixture.

4. Add Breadcrumbs

Add breadcrumbs to the mixture. Stir gently until it forms a soft dough. This helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.

5. Shape the Patties

Take small portions of the mixture. Shape into round flat patties using your hands. Keep them equal in size for even cooking.

6. Heat the Oil

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding patties. This helps create a crispy crust.

7. Cook the Patties

Place patties in the pan carefully. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side. Turn gently with a spatula until both sides are golden brown.

8. Drain Excess Oil

Remove patties from the pan. Place them on paper towels. This removes extra oil and keeps them light and crispy.

9. Serve Hot

Serve the salmon patties hot. Add your favorite dipping sauce or side dish. Enjoy the crispy texture and fresh flavor.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh parsley for better flavor.
• Do not skip lemon juice. It adds freshness.
• Chill mixture for 10 minutes if too soft.
• Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
• Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
• Flip patties gently to avoid breaking.
• Add chili flakes for a spicy taste.
