Ingredients

Scale

1 pound fresh salmon fillets (skinless)
1 cup plain or panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked.
Once cooled slightly, flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl using a fork, ensuring no bones remain.
Add breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon juice, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the flaked salmon. Mix gently until just combined.
With wet hands, form the mixture into patties about 2 inches wide and place them on a plate.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat and let sit on paper towels briefly before serving.
