Ingredients
- 1 can 415 grams/15 ounce tin Red Salmon 415 grams/15 ounce tin Red Salmon
- ¼ cup Grated potato
- ¼ cup Grated Carrot
- ¼ cup Grated Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- Rind of 1 lemon
- 1 large Egg
- ¼ cup Breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons Cooking oil
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon and Remove Bones and Skin: Open the can of red salmon and drain the liquid. Carefully remove the salmon from the can and place it in a bowl. Gently inspect the salmon for bones. Using your fingers or a fork, carefully flake the salmon, feeling for and removing any small bones you encounter. If there is skin attached, peel it away and discard.
- Add Grated Veggies and Seasonings: Add the grated potato, carrot, and zucchini, followed by the red onion, dill, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix together with a spoon, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add Egg and Breadcrumbs: Add the egg and mix though, followed by breadcrumbs, mixing through until combined
- Shape into Patties: Form the salmon mixture into 6 patties, usually about 2-3 inches in diameter. Set aside on a separate plate as you make them.
- Cook Fritters: Place the patties in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the salmon fritters warm, with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, a dill sauce, or homemade tartare sauce.
Notes
-
- Tinned Red Salmon: I use John West red salmon, however you could also use canned pink salmon, or leftover cooked salmon. If you don't like tinned salmon fishcakes, you can easily make them using Air Fryer Salmon!
- Potato, Carrot, Zucchini and Red Onion: These are my staples for making any type of salmon fritters recipe as they not only make the patties go further, the vegetables add taste and texture. Green onions can be used instead of red onions.
- Fresh Dill, Salt and Black Pepper: Salmon needs seasoning otherwise it can be a bit blank. Substitute dill for any fresh herbs
- Breadcrumbs: wholemeal breadcrumbs, or panko breadcrumbs will help to create a crispy texture
- Oil: Any type of cooking oil will work including vegetable oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and extra virgin olive oil.
- Serving: Garlic Butter Brussel Sprouts, Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes, mashed potato, garden salad, mango and tomato salsa white or brown rice or cauliflower fried rice, Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Noodles, Peanut Butter Noodles
