Mediterranean Salmon Patties

by

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salmon Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, feta, red onion, parsley, dill, capers, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. Shape the Patties:

    • Form the mixture into 6-8 equal-sized patties (about 1/2-inch thick).

    • Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes (this helps them hold together while cooking).

  3. Cook the Patties:

    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

    • Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

    • (Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes on a parchment-lined tray for a lighter option.)

  4. Serve:

    • Enjoy warm with lemon wedges, a dollop of tzatziki or yogurt sauce, and a side of salad or pita bread.

Tips:

✔ For extra moisture, add 1 tbsp Greek yogurt to the mixture.
✔ Make ahead: Refrigerate uncooked patties for up to 24 hours before cooking.
✔ For crispier patties, use panko breadcrumbs.

These patties are delicious, protein-packed, and full of Mediterranean flavors—perfect for a light lunch or dinner! Enjoy! 😊
