1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and chopped
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Lemon wedges, for serving
In a large bowl, combine chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined.
Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the salmon patties to the skillet, cooking for 4–5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if needed.
Remove patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
