How to Make Fried Salmon Patties

  1. Gently flake 1 pound of cooked salmon into a medium bowl. Remove any remaining bones.
  2. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds its shape.
  4. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the salmon mixture into the hot oil, flattening each spoonful into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
