Sesame Crusted Salmon Patties are a delicious, crunchy, and flavorful twist on traditional salmon cakes. With a crispy sesame coating on the outside and a tender, juicy salmon filling on the inside, these patties are perfect for a light dinner, lunch, or even as an appetizer. Packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, they’re not only tasty but nutritious too!

Ingredients

1 can (14.75 oz) wild-caught salmon, drained and flaked (or 1 lb fresh salmon, cooked and flaked)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 large egg

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup sesame seeds (for coating)

2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, green onions, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined, and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  2. Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties, depending on your preferred size.
  3. Place the sesame seeds in a shallow bowl or plate. Gently press each salmon patty into the sesame seeds, coating both sides evenly.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the patties.
  5. Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Notes

Serve the Sesame Crusted Salmon Patties with a fresh salad, on a bed of rice, or in a sandwich or wrap with a drizzle of tahini, aioli, or your favorite sauce. They also pair well with roasted vegetables or a simple cucumber salad for a light, healthy meal.

Add a tablespoon of fresh dill or parsley to the mixture for extra freshness.

Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

Swap the mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangy option.

Add finely chopped bell peppers or celery for extra flavor and crunch.
