Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 large plate
  • 1 skillet

Ingredients
 

  • 14 oz canned salmon (or roughly 2 cups of leftover salmon)
  • 3/4 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup panko crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

  • If using canned salmon, open can, and drain. Set aside. Prepare a plate with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (besides olive oil). Using clean hands, combine ingredients and form into patties. Place patties on parchment lined plate and place patties in freezer for 10 minutes.
