Ingredients

  • 14 oz salmon, canned sockeye salmon (4 cans) or cooked salmon
  • 1 cup Panko crumbs, gluten-free
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup green onions , sliced
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, dried
  • 1 tablespoon dill, dried
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise

Creamy Lime Yogurt Sauce or Dip

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained, rinsed and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chives, snipped
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with oil.
  • If using canned sockeye salmon, drain thoroughly. If using fresh salmon, flake with two forks.
  • Add all salmon patty ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine.
  • Using a quarter cup measure, form patties about ¾ inch thick and 2 ½ inches in diameter.
  • Place on the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes, flipping the patties over half way through baking time.
  • Alternatively, fry in a high-heat oil, like avocado oil, in a skillet, about 5 - 7 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil.

Creamy Lime Yogurt Sauce

  • Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Garnish with fresh dill or chives, if desired. Serve with salmon patties as a sauce to spoon on top of patties.

Notes

This recipe makes 12 patties, ¼ cup each, about 2.5 inches in diameter. Make smaller one-inch patties for appetizer servings and serve with sauce for dipping.
Chilling the patties until you're ready to cook them helps to prevent them from falling apart.
Make them a little larger for salmon burgers and serve in a gluten-free bun.
