Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the drained salmon, eggs, instant mashed potatoes, seasoned salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, minced onion, and bread crumbs until well combined.
- Form the mixture into patties.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the patties in hot olive oil until they are browned on both sides.
- Drain excess oil from the patties.
- Serve with buttered pasta.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill to the mixture. For a gluten-free option, substitute bread crumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or oats. If you prefer a slightly spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy exterior. These salmon patties can also be baked in an oven for a healthier alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these salmon patties alongside buttered pasta for a comforting meal. They also pair nicely with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a lighter option. For a delightful twist, try serving them with a lemon-dill sauce or tartar sauce. They can also complement other seafood recipes, making for a lovely dinner spread.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover salmon patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated through. You can also microwave them for a quick option, but be cautious not to overheat to maintain their texture.
