Description
The BEST Salmon Patties you will ever make! Made with fresh salmon filet instead of canned salmon, this incredible salmon patty recipe is bursting with some of my favorite Thai flavors including lime, ginger, garlic, cilantro, and mint, and explodes with awesome texture thanks to its fun coating of sesame seeds and Panko breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds skinless center-cut salmon fillets (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (or Sriracha)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 lime (zested)
- 1/2 lime (juiced)
- 1 small red onion (finely diced)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint (finely chopped)
- 3 green onions (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs (divided)
- 2 tablespoon black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Remove any skin and bones from each salmon fillet and carefully slice/chop the salmon into small pieces. Transfer the chopped salmon to a large bowl and set aside. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Base: Transfer the mayonnaise, soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek, minced garlic, ginger, lime zest and juice, diced red onion, cilantro, mint, green onions, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs to a separate mixing bowl and gently mix.
- Combine: Transfer the chopped salmon to the breadcrumb mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Shape and Chill: Divide the mixture into approximately 6-7 salmon patties, transfer to your lined baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare Coating: In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the remaining half cup of Panko breadcrumbs with the white and black sesame seeds.
- Coat: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Gently press each salmon patty into the Panko-sesame mixture, making sure all sides are coated.
- Fry: Transfer 3 patties to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes before flipping and cooking the other side for 4-5 minutes, or until fully cooked (145 degrees F). Repeat with remaining patties.
- Serve: Serve immediately over a bed of fresh greens or on top of your favorite sandwich bun.
Notes
Canned salmon can be used in place of fresh salmon filet; ensure canning liquid is drained. Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
