Delicious and gluten-free salmon patties paired with a zesty lemon garlic sauce, perfect for any weeknight meal.
Ingredients
For the Salmon Patties
- 2 cans 14.75-ounce cans of wild-caught salmon, drained and flaked
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- as needed Olive oil for frying
For the Lemon Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (gluten-free, if needed)
- 1 whole lemon (juice of)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the drained and flaked salmon with gluten-free breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Sauce Preparation
- While the patties are cooking, prepare your Lemon Garlic Sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the patties are done, serve them hot with the zesty sauce on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
For even firmer patties, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before forming patties. Mix just until everything is combined; overmixing can lead to dense patties.
