Both methods work beautifully. It just depends on what you have in your fridge!
Version 1: Parmesan-Crusted Salmon Patties
Best for: A savory, cheesy, ultra-crispy exterior.
The 3 Core Ingredients:The 3 Core Ingredients
1 Can (14.75 oz) Canned Salmon: Drained well.
2 Large Eggs: Beaten.
½ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese: The kind in the green can works perfectly here because it’s fine and dry, but freshly grated works too.
(Optional Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder)
Instructions
1. Prep the Salmon
Open the can and drain the liquid thoroughly. Press down with a fork to remove as much moisture as possible. If you prefer, remove any large bones or skin (though the bones are soft, edible, and packed with calcium!). Flake the salmon into a medium bowl.
2. Mix the Batter
Add the beaten eggs and Parmesan cheese to the salmon. If you’re using seasonings like garlic powder, pepper, or a pinch of salt, add them now. Mix gently with a fork until everything is evenly combined. The mixture will be sticky—that’s normal!
3. Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Wet your hands slightly with water or oil to prevent sticking, then shape each portion into a patty about ½-inch thick.
