Step-by-Step Instructions for Salmon Patties
  1. Prepare the Salmon: Open and drain the canned salmon, flaking it into a medium-sized mixing bowl, ensuring no large chunks remain.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Fold in the egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the flaked salmon, then add the panko breadcrumbs, chopped scallions, dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until just combined.
  3. Form the Patties: Wet your hands slightly and scoop out equal portions, shaping each into a patty about ½ inch thick.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding enough olive oil to coat the bottom until shimmering.
  5. Fry the Patties: Place the salmon patties into the hot skillet, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels, serve warm with dipping sauces like tzatziki, and enjoy!
