Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 400g canned salmon, drained
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Mixed salad greens for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 400g canned salmon (drained), 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and mixed salad greens for serving.
- Open the canned salmon and drain it thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Place the drained salmon into the Thermomix bowl.
- Add the breadcrumbs, egg, and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the salmon.
- Secure the lid on the Thermomix and mix the ingredients for 10 seconds on speed 4 until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary and mix for an additional 5 seconds on speed
- Once the mixture is well combined, remove it from the bowl and form it into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 8 patties.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare the mixed salad greens in a large bowl. You can add additional toppings such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or your favorite salad dressing if desired.
- Once the salmon patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the salmon patties warm on a plate alongside a generous portion of mixed salad greens.
- Enjoy your delicious Lee's Salmon Patties with a fresh salad!
Tips
- Drain the canned salmon thoroughly to prevent soggy patties
- Use fresh breadcrumbs for a crispier texture

- Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding patties for the best golden-brown crust
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan to prevent sticking
- Let the patties rest for a minute after cooking to help them hold their shape
- Experiment with additional herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor
- For a lighter version, you can bake the patties in the oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes
