Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh bread crumbs

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh dill weed

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 14 ¾ ounces leftover cooked salmon, flaked

  • 2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs onto a plate; place remaining 1 1/2 cups into a large mixing bowl.

  2. Add parsley, green onions, eggs, dill, lemon juice, and pepper to bread crumbs in the mixing bowl; mix until well combined. Add salmon and mix thoroughly with your hands to break salmon up into small pieces. Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Dip patties into bread crumbs on the plate to coat both sides.

  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches and adding more butter as necessary, fry salmon cakes until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

Recipe Tip

Use a 14.75-ounce can of salmon (drained) if desired.
