Ingredients
Scale
- 15 ounces canned salmon (drained and deboned)
- 3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 egg
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Fresh parsley and lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine canned salmon, crushed saltines, minced garlic, egg, pepper, salt, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to help bind the ingredients.
- After chilling, form the mixture into even-sized patties (about 2 inches wide and ½ inch thick).
- In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, add enough vegetable oil to come halfway up the sides of the patties. Heat until hot but not smoking.
- Carefully add the patties to the hot oil and fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding; fry in batches if necessary.
- Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with parsley garnish and lemon wedges.
