Salmon patties recipe

One of my favourite ways to prepare salmon is to steam it, accompanied by a medley of seasonal, lightly steamed vegetables. It’s really a piece of cake – throw everything together, steam to perfection and you have a delicious and simple meal. But there’s a delightful twist to this story.
You see, there are times when we find ourselves with a surplus of this tasty fish. And in those instances, I embrace creativity and turn those leftovers into something truly special – Salmon Patties.

These amazing salmon patties require only 3 basic ingredients: salmon (leftovers, steamed, tinned or fresh), eggs and breadcrumbs. Add fresh herbs of your choice to make them even better.

Ingredients

350 grams (12.3 ounces) steamed salmon (leftovers)
2 medium-size eggs
1/2 cup (50 grams) breadcrumbs – for keto version use almon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Finely chopped fresh basil leaves
Finely chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Place the steamed salmon in a mixing bowl, making sure there are no bones or skin.
Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, chopped basil and parsley leaves to the chopped salmon. Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when you form a patty. If it feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs to get the right consistency.
Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into six equal portions if making finger-thick fish burger patties. Or, if serving with salad, divide into 8 equal pieces. I usually take a spinfull for each salmon patty. You can make them round or oval if you like.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully drop the salmon patties into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden. Make sure to turn them gently.
When the patties are cooked through and have a nice golden colour, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain off any excess oil.
Serve the salmon patties while they are still hot. They are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a fresh salad or a creamy dipping sauce for extra flavour, oooooor in a delicious Fishburger as a Fish Burger Patty

Salmon is a staple food in many households. It’s readily available and packed full of nutrients. Here, where we live, salmon often graces our table. However, when I return to Croatia, my heart swells as I fill our home with an array of fresh and varied seafood.

While these salmon patties are delicious on their own, they can be paired with a vibrant side dish for a complete meal. For instance, this Mexican salad with black beans and corn from Cooked and Loved is a great choice.

Steaming a Salmon

Steamer Basket: To steam salmon, place in a steamer basket or on a heat-resistant plate in a saucepan of about 3-4cm (1 to 2 inches) of simmering water. Cover and simmer gently for about 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the salmon separates easily with a fork.
Microwave: To microwave salmon, place a salmon fillet in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a microwave-safe lid and microwave on medium heat (50% power) for about 2-3 minutes, adjusting the time to suit the wattage of your microwave and the thickness of the salmon. Check for doneness by ensuring that the salmon separates easily.
