Ingredients

Scale

Cracker Crumbs:

  • 1 cup crushed Ritz cracker crumbs (approximately 25 Ritz crackers)

Salmon Patties:

  • 1819 ounces canned salmon, drained (3, 6-ounce cans with no skin or bones or 2 14.75 cans, remove skin and bones)
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced fine
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Make Cracker Crumbs – Place about 25 Ritz crackers in a zipped-top plastic food storage bag. Seal the bag and use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into crumbs.
  2. Blend Ingredients – Drain salmon. If using canned salmon with skin and bone, place the contents of the can in a bowl and remove the bones and skin. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the salmon, eggs, lemon juice, green onions, dried parsley flakes, and cracker crumbs. Blend to combine the ingredients.
  3. Cook the Salmon Patties – Scoop about ½ cup of the salmon mixture out of the bowl, and use your hands to shape each patty flat and about one inch thick. You should end up with 6 large patties. Pour the vegetable oil in a large skillet and heat over medium-high until the oil starts to shimmer. Place the salmon patties in the hot oil. Be careful not to crowd the patties; leave at least an inch or two between each one. Cook for about 8 minutes, then flip the patties over and fry for another 5-6 minutes or until the patties are firm and golden brown. Watch the patties closely while they fry, you may need to adjust the heat and lower it slightly as the skillet and the oil continue heating, especially after you turn the patties over and with the second batch. Serve with fresh lemon, sprinkle with additional diced green onions and tartar sauce.

Notes

  • These salmon patties can be served on their own, with a side salad, or in a sandwich for a delicious meal.
  • Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs and spices to the salmon mixture.
