Equipment

large mixing bowl
Cast Iron Skillet
wire rack

Ingredients

15 oz canned pink salmon (skinless, boneless) 3 x 5 oz. cans, wild caught
0.25 cup onion finely diced
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
1 large egg lightly beaten
5 tablespoon plain breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
⅓ cup cooking oil

Instructions

Drain the liquid from the canned salmon and place the salmon in a large bowl. Break up the salmon in the bowl with a fork.
Add the finely diced onion, salt, pepper, egg, breadcrumbs, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.
Shape the salmon mixture into large patties using 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture. You should end up with 6-7 patties. Set the patties aside.
Heat the cooking oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet and cook in 2 batches for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Rest the cooked patties on a wire rack. Serve hot with extra lemon wedges (optional) and your favorite sides.

Notes

You can also use a tall 14 oz. can of wild-caught pink salmon and remove the bones and skin yourself if preferred. Cooking in cast iron skillets yields the best results.
