Main Ingredients

For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Open the canned salmon and drain the liquid. In a mixing bowl, flake the salmon with a fork, removing any large bones or skin.

  2. 2

    Chop Green Onions

    Finely chop the green onions and set them aside.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    In the bowl with the flaked salmon, add the breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

Forming the Cakes

  1. 4

    Shape the Mixture

    Using your hands, shape the salmon mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed patties on a plate.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Salmon Cakes

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the salmon cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
