Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon filet*
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoon Garlic salt, I used Lawry's Brand, to taste
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper, or to taste
- 1 medium yellow onion, 1 cup, finely diced
- ½ red bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup parsley, finely minced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 425˚F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment or silicone liner. Place salmon in the center, skin-side-down, drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic salt and black pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 10-15 min (depending on thickness), or just until cooked through. Remove from oven, cover with foil, and rest for 10 min. Flake salmon with 2 forks discarding skin and any bones then set aside and cool to room temp.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add diced onion and bell pepper and saute until golden and softened (7-9 minutes) then remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flaked salmon, sautéed pepper and onion, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 beaten eggs, 3 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper and ¼ cup chopped parsley. Stir to combine.
- Form into patties (about a heaping Tablespoonful each) and mold with your hands into 2" wide by ⅓ to ½" thick patties.
- In a clean non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until hot then add salmon patties in a single layer. Saute for 3 to 4 min per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- If salmon patties brown too fast, reduce heat. Remove finished patties to a paper-towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining oil, butter and salmon cakes.

Tips and Tricks
- If you're dealing with leftover salmon or using canned salmon, ensure it's well-drained and flaked to avoid overly moist patties that might fall apart during cooking.
- For those desirable crisp edges, make sure the oil in the pan is adequately heated before adding the patties.
- Serve the patties warm for the best texture and flavor, ideally straight from the pan after a minute or two on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
