Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, seasoned bread crumbs, beaten egg, mayonnaise, chopped green onion, dried parsley, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. If the mixture seems dry, add additional mayonnaise to achieve a moist consistency.
3
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties and place them on a plate. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the patties to firm up.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
5
Once the patties have set, take them out of the refrigerator. Gently spread mayonnaise on one side of each patty, then dip that side into the panko mixture, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere well. Repeat the same process for the other side of each patty.
6
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated patties on the baking sheet.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the patties over and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness to your preference.
8
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, like oven fries or sweet potato fries.
