Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of quality canned salmon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs (panko preferred)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Open the canned salmon and let it drain. Flake the salmon with a fork.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, sautéed onions, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Add herbs and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne if desired.
