Description

These easy homemade salmon patties made with oatmeal, canned salmon, and egg are fried in a mixture of canola oil and butter until golden brown and crispy.

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) cans boneless, skinless salmon, drained
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped onion, or more to taste
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats, or as needed
2 tablespoons canola oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Mix salmon, egg, and onion in a bowl with your hands until well combined. Mix in oats, a little at a time, until mixture holds together and is not overly moist. Shape into four patties.
2 Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is hot. Add patties and fry until golden brown on the outside and heated through, about 7 minutes per side.
