The Best Salmon Patties

These salmon patties look so good! I feel like I make the same meals a lot and this is one I have not made before, so I know it would be great to try something new for dinner. Thanks for the idea!
The Best Salmon Patties


Salmon Patties are delicious and flavorful, made with cooked salmon, panko bread crumbs, and spiked with fresh green onions, lemon and paprika. The patties are tender on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside. They can be used as an appetizer or as a main dish.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 lb  salmon  (cooked and flaked)
  • 1/2 cup  green onions  (chopped)
  • 4 cloves  garlic  (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon  fresh ginger  (grated)
  • 1 1/2 cups  Panko bread crumbs  (plain)
  • 1/2 teaspoon  Italian herbs seasoning 
  • 1/2 teaspoon  paprika 
  • 1 teaspoon  dried parsley 
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt and pepper  (or to taste)
  • 2  large eggs  (lightly beaten)
  • 1/4 cup  mayo 
  • 1 tablespoon  lemon juice 
  • 2 tablespoon  hot sauce  (optional)
  •  zest of one lemon 
  •  Canola or vegetable oil  (to cook the patties)
Instructions
  1. Place salmon skin-side down in a lightly greased baking sheet, and season with some salt and pepper. Brush with olive oil, and bake it for 10 minutes (uncovered) in the oven at 425˚F.
  2. Once baked, discard the skin, and flake the salmon with a fork. If it has any bones, remove them.
  3. Next, add to the salmon the rest of ingredients, and mix them together using your hands.
  4. Use an ice cream scoop for portioning so each salmon patty is about the same size, and make into patties.
  5. In a skillet, add some canola or vegetable oil, about 1 inch from the surface. Once the oil is sizzling, add the patties to the pan. Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown, turning gently.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve.
