Ingredients
Scale
- 340 grams / 12 oz canned salmon (drained, unsalted)
- 1 large egg
- 80 milliliters / ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 60 grams / 1 cup pork rinds (crushed, measured after crushing)
- 2 tablespoons yellow onion / brown onion (freshly grated)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mixture Preparation: Thoroughly blend salmon with all ingredients in a medium bowl, maintaining a consistent texture without excessive mixing.
- Patty Formation: Craft 6 evenly shaped patties approximately 0.5 inches thick, using delicate hand pressure to preserve structural integrity.
- Chilling Process: Arrange patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up and minimize potential crumbling during cooking.
- Skillet Heating: Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, creating an optimal surface for achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Cooking Technique: Place chilled patties into the heated skillet with adequate spacing, cooking 3-4 minutes per side until a crisp, caramelized crust develops and salmon reaches proper internal temperature, ensuring a perfectly cooked, succulent result.
Notes
- Chill for Stability: Refrigerate patties for 30 minutes to help them maintain shape and prevent crumbling during cooking, ensuring a perfect texture and easier handling.
- Gentle Mixing Matters: Combine ingredients thoroughly but avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough, dense patties that lose their delicate salmon texture.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Use a large skillet and leave space between patties to promote even browning and prevent steaming, allowing each patty to develop a crispy golden crust.
- Oil Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior without burning, creating a perfectly cooked salmon patty with a crisp outer layer and moist interior.
