How to Make Salmon Latkes

  1. Remove skin and bones from 1 (14.75 ounce) can of salmon.
  2. In a large bowl, gently flake the salmon. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 2 tablespoons fresh dill. Mix well.
  3. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. With wet hands, form the salmon mixture into 8-10 small patties (latkes).
  6. In a large heavy skillet, heat 1/8 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil is hot enough when a pinch of breadcrumb sizzles immediately.
  7. Carefully place the latkes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra dill or a squeeze of lemon if desired. Enjoy!
