Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Patties:
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle it with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until flaky. You can check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish. It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to flake the salmon, discarding the skin and any bones. Transfer the flaked salmon to a large bowl.
- To the bowl with the flaked salmon, add the eggs, garlic, onion, bread crumbs, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Form the mixture into 8 equal patties, each about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the pan, leaving space between them to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You might need to cook in batches depending on the size of your pan.
- Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your salmon patties warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon and your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce.
