 Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon fillets (cooked and flaked)

• 1 egg

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

 Directions

1. Prepare the Salmon:
   If using fresh salmon fillets, cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 125–135°F (52–57°C). Allow them to cool slightly, then flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.

2. Mix the Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, egg, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Form the Patties:
   Add the panko breadcrumbs to the salmon mixture and stir until just combined. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 2–3 inches in diameter. Coat each patty lightly with additional panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

4. Cook the Patties:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve:
   Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
