Egg
1
Panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
1
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, ensuring there's enough water to completely submerge the salmon fillets. Reduce the heat to medium and gently boil the salmon for 8-10 minutes. It's okay if the salmon is slightly undercooked as it will finish cooking during frying.
2
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the water and allow it to cool slightly. Then, flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no large chunks.
3
Add the finely chopped onion, celery, corn, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Tabasco sauce, fresh dill, and parsley to the bowl with the salmon. Gently combine the ingredients, taking care not to overmix.
4
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then gently fold it into the salmon mixture. If using panko breadcrumbs, incorporate 1 cup into the mixture and set aside the remaining 1/2 cup for coating later. If using regular breadcrumbs, you may add the full 1 1/2 cups at this stage.
5
Shape the mixture into patties. This recipe makes about 8 smaller patties (2 per person) or 6 larger patties suitable for serving as burgers. Lightly coat the outside of each pattie with the reserved panko if using.
6
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
7
While the patties are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the plain yogurt, chopped mint, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix well and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
8
To serve, place the crispy salmon patties on a bed of fresh salad greens and generously drizzle the herb yogurt sauce over the top.
