Ingredients

For the Salmon Patties:

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and boneless

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg, beaten

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

For the Lemon Garlic Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, finely chop the salmon into small pieces, or pulse it in a food processor until it is coarsely chopped (be careful not to over-process).

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, red onion, parsley, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Form Patties: Scoop out about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form it into a patty. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used, usually about 8 patties.

Chill the Patties: Place the patties on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps the patties hold their shape while cooking.

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.

Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the salmon patties, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid crowding the skillet; you may need to do this in batches.

Serve: Once cooked, transfer the salmon patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with a generous dollop of Lemon Garlic Sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
