Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Salmon Patties
  1. Begin by opening the canned salmon and draining it thoroughly. Use a fork to flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no large chunks left.
  2. Add the egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl. Next, sprinkle in the panko breadcrumbs, chopped scallions, fresh dill, parsley, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into six equal patties, each about ½ inch thick.
  4. In a large skillet, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat.
  5. Carefully place the formed patties in the hot skillet, ensuring they don’t touch. Fry them in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the crispy salmon patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm, garnished with lemon wedges.
