Classic Salmon Patties
Crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful inside—these old-fashioned salmon patties make an easy, delicious meal! 
Ingredients
* 2 cans (14.75 oz each) canned salmon, drained and flaked
* 2 large eggs
* ¾ cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
* ¼ cup finely chopped onion
* 2 tbsp mayonnaise
* 1 tbsp yellow mustard
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* ½ tsp garlic powder
* ½ tsp paprika
* ½ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp black pepper
* 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
* 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
2. Shape the patties: Mix gently until combined. Form into 8–10 evenly sized patties. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
3. Heat the oil: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Fry: Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
6. Serve: Enjoy warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. 
Tips
* Chill the patties for 15–20 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
* For extra crispy patties, use crushed saltine crackers instead of breadcrumbs.
* Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook in batches if needed.
