Method
 

How to Make Crispy Salmon Cakes with Canned Salmon
  1. Combine the canned salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well until you achieve a consistent texture, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Shape the mixture into patties, using your hands to form them into uniform rounds. Aim for about 1-inch thickness to ensure even cooking and a delightfully crispy exterior.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, which indicates it’s ready for frying.
  4. Fry the salmon cakes for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side. Look for a beautiful golden brown color that reveals their crispiness, signaling they are perfectly cooked.
  5. Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm for the best taste experience.
