Ingredients
- 2 cans canned salmon (14.75 oz each)
- 2 count eggs
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 count lemon
- 3 count green onions
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 12 oz frozen peas
- 1/8 tsp salt
Steps
- Drain the salmon, remove any large bones and skin if you like, and flake into a bowl.
- Mix in the eggs, panko, 2 tbsp of the mayo, mustard, sliced green onions, and a squeeze of lemon. Shape into 8 patties.
- Heat half the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in 2 batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until deep golden and 160°F in the center. Add the rest of the oil for the second batch.
- Meanwhile, microwave the peas with a pinch of salt.
- Stir the remaining mayo with lemon juice for a quick dipping sauce and serve with the patties and peas.
- Make ahead: shape the patties up to a day ahead and chill them, covered, in the fridge. Leftover cooked patties keep 3 days.
- Picky eater tip: serve a plain patty with peas on the side, and skip the sauce.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
