Ingredients
- 16 ounces flaked salmon
- ½ red onion minced
- 1 red bell pepper minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or Tamari
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Greek Yogurt
- 1 egg
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs or gluten free panko breadcrumbs
- Olive Oil Spray
Instructions
- To a large bowl, combine the salmon, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, Greek yogurt, and mixed together.
- Add the egg, and one cup of the breadcrumbs, and mix together.
- To a shallow dish (or pie pan) add the remaining breadcrumbs.
- Working with wet hands (so the mixture won’t stick to you) make 12 salmon patties. To make this easy, start rolling them in a ball as you would meatballs, and then gently push down into a patty form.
- Coat the patties in the remaining breadcrumbs, moving to a baking sheet as you work.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, and spray with olive oil. Cook the patties in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each side, until browned. Then transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Serve hot, or cool completely and move to a freezer bag for storage. Salmon patties will hold in the freezer for 1-2 months and the fridge for 3 days. You can reheat on a baking sheet in a 350° oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
