Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups flaked cooked salmon
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Coating & Cooking
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds for coating
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Garnish
- Chopped cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, finely sliced green onions, and lemon juice. Mix gently until the mixture holds together well.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into eight small, even-sized patties, ensuring they hold together firmly for cooking.
- Coat Patties: Place the sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Press each salmon patty gently but thoroughly into the sesame seeds, coating both sides evenly to create a crunchy crust.
- Heat Oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking, ready for frying.
- Cook Patties: Fry the patties in the skillet for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown, crisp on the outside, and heated through.
- Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and drain if necessary. Garnish with chopped cilantro or additional green onions. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce such as soy sauce, spicy mayonnaise, or sweet chili sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use canned salmon for convenience, ensuring to drain well and remove any skin or bones before mixing.
- Lightly toasting the sesame seeds before coating the patties enhances their nutty flavor and aroma.
- These patties can be served with a variety of dipping sauces to suit your taste preferences.
