Instructions
1
Begin by removing the skin and bones from the salmon fillets. Carefully cut the salmon into small pieces using a sharp knife. This will allow for even mixing and better texture in the patties.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon chunks with cracker crumbs, eggs, milk, dried parsley, onion powder, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. The mixture should be moist yet sticky; if it feels too dry, add a splash of milk for the perfect consistency.
3
Form the mixture into evenly sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well.
4
Sprinkle Creole seasoning generously on both sides of each patty for added flavor.
5
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter (if using) until bubbly.
6
Carefully place the patties in the hot pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust. For the best results, flip each patty only once to maintain their integrity.
7
Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and serve immediately. Pair them with Lemon Dill Sauce or creamed peas for a delightful experience. Enjoy your homemade Savory Salmon Delight Patties!
