How to Make Savory Salmon Cakes
  1. Gather Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl, making the process seamless and enjoyable. Flake the canned salmon thoroughly into the bowl for an even mix.
  2. Mix Together: Add in the breadcrumbs, eggs, dill, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and pepper. Gently mix everything together until just combined, taking care not to overmix for tender patties.
  3. Shape Patties: Form the mixture into small patties, roughly 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined plate to keep them neat and ready for cooking.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. It's the perfect temperature to create that delightful crispy texture you crave!
  5. Cook Patties: Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet, frying them in batches without overcrowding. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color.
  6. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve the cakes warm, paired with tartar sauce or lemon wedges for an extra zing!
