Oven Baked Salmon Patties
Oven-baked salmon patties offer a flavorful, healthy alternative to fried versions, with fresh herbs, lemon, and green onions, perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Drain the salmon and flake it, removing skin and large bones.
- Process the bread into fine crumbs.
- In a large bowl, mix the flaked salmon, bread crumbs, dried parsley, black pepper, lemon juice, chopped green onions, and lightly beaten egg white until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 8 patties, pressing together firmly.
- Place the patties on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes on each side until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a dash of garlic powder or chopped bell peppers to the salmon mixture. If you're out of whole wheat bread, any bread can work; just ensure it's not too soft. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs. Baking on parchment paper can help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these salmon patties with a side of mixed greens or a refreshing cucumber salad for a light meal. They also pair well with a dollop of tartar sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon. For a heartier option, try them alongside roasted vegetables or quinoa. They could complement recipes like Broiled Fish With Pacifica Sauce beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side.
