These Salmon Patties are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and cook in under 10 minutes! Made with canned or fresh salmon, a few pantry staples, and simple seasoning, they’re my go-to recipe when I need something fast, healthy, and family-friendly.
Add the salmon to a large mixing bowl. Flake the salmon with a fork if needed and remove out any pieces if you are not using boneless, skinless salmon.
Add in all the remaining ingredients except for the olive oil. Stir until fully combined. Make sure that the mixture sticks together well. If the mixture is too dry, add in more mayonnaise and if it appears too wet add in more panko breadcrumbs.
Form the mixture into 8 patties that are approximately ½ inch thick. Place the patties on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so that they do not fall apart while they are cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until the oil is hot.
Add the patties to the skillet in a single layer (you may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan).
Cook the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the skillet. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes
You can easily use leftover cooked salmon instead of canned salmon in this recipe if you prefer. If using fresh, make sure to use boneless, skinless salmon and flake the salmon before adding it to the mixing bowl. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.The leftovers are delicious served warmed or cold as well. Watch these closely as they cook in the skillet as they do brown quickly.
