🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir until fully combined.
Step 2: Shape into Patties
Using clean hands or a scoop, form the mixture into 6 to 8 patties, pressing gently to shape and hold them together.
Step 3: Pan-Fry Until Crispy
Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the patties in batches. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Remove the patties from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon, your favorite dipping sauce, or alongside a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.

👩🍳 Tips for the Best Salmon Patties
- No canned salmon? You can use fresh cooked salmon or even leftover grilled salmon.
- If your mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs. Too dry? A splash of milk or mayo does the trick.
- Want extra crispiness? Chill the patties for 15 minutes before frying.
- Use a cast iron skillet if you have one—it gives the best sear!
