Ingredients
- 14 3/4 oz canned pink salmon
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 yellow onions
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Method
Drain the salmon well and flake it into a bowl, breaking up any soft bones and skin as you go.
Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, finely diced onion, mayonnaise, mustard, chopped parsley, the zest of the lemon, the salt and the pepper. Mix just until it holds together.
Shape into eight patties about three-quarters of an inch thick and chill them for 10 minutes so they firm up.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium. Fry the patties for 4 to 5 minutes a side, turning once, until deep golden and hot through.
Drain briefly on paper towel and serve with the lemon cut into wedges.
