Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds salmon fillet (diced (or 2 x cans salmon, drained))
- 1 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon dill (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
For the salmon patties:
- Add half the salmon fillet to a food processor, along with the mustard and whiz to make it finer. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining salmon to the food processor along with the egg and process until finer. Pour into the mixing bowl.

- Add the breadcrumbs, dill, Old Bay, paprika and salt and pepper to the bowl of fish and stir well to combine.
- Form into burger/patty shapes with damp hands.
To Pan Fry
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Cook the salmon patties for about 4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
To Air Fry
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. With wet hands form small round patties and place in a basket. Fry for 12 minutes at 375°F/190°C or until golden. Flip them over and cook for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through
To Oven Bake
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lighty oil a baking sheet, or line with baking parchment paper. Add the salmon patties and bake for 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for a further 5 minutes or until they're golden and cooked through.
Notes
- Instead of fresh salmon, you can use frozen (defrosted) or canned (drained well).
- Try swapping to different herbs such as thyme or oregano.
- You can leave out the Old Bay Seasoning, or swap it to cajun or other seasoning blends.
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes or a little chilli powder to the salmon mixture to imbue heat into the dish, or chopped jalapenos or other peppers.
- Deluxe - add chopped roasted red peppers and a little harissa paste for heat.
