panko salmon patties
Easy and delicious, this recipe is an updated version of my mom's. She used cracker crumbs, I use panko. She used Wonder bread, I use hearty white or challah. I use fish sauce, she used a little of the juice from the can. Instead of margarine or oil, I use real butter. I think she would approve. (Recipe may be halved, but we really enjoy making enough for a second meal and sandwiches!)

- 2 cans salmon (14.75 oz.)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

How To Make panko salmon patties
-
Step 1Drain and discard liquid from salmon; discard bones and skin, if desired.
-
Step 2Place salmon in mixing bowl; mix salt and fish sauce into beaten eggs; pour over salmon.
-
Step 3Using well-washed hands (food service gloves recommended,) mix lightly, add torn white bread crumbs and mix well, but try to preserve some larger pieces of salmon.
-
Step 4Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
-
Step 5Pat the salmon down into the bowl evenly; use a knife to score and cut into 8 equal pieces (or you may just "eyeball" it, if you prefer.)
-
Step 6Form each piece into a ball and place on baking sheet.
-
Step 7Place panko in a shallow bowl or pie pan.
-
Step 8Form a ball of the salmon into a patty, about an inch thick; place patty in panko, press it lightly and cover all sides with the panko.
-
Step 9Return patty to baking sheet; repeat until all patties are coated with panko.
-
Step 10Place baking sheet with patties in refrigerator and allow to chill for 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Step 11In large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat; add salmon patties and fry, checking for browning, for approximately 7 minutes per side. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent over-browning. Add more of the butter as needed, especially as they are turned.
-
Step 12Press the patties lightly as they fry. They will be firm and browned when finished. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
-
Step 13Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Makes a great sandwich, also.
