Delicious Salmon Patties with Creamy Dill Sauce

Learn how to make juicy and flavorful salmon patties from scratch. These crispy golden-brown patties are made with fresh salmon, breadcrumbs, herbs, and spices. Serve them with a creamy and tangy dill sauce for a perfect seafood dinner!

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skinless
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained and minced

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes.
3. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
4. To the bowl, add the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
5. Shape the salmon mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. While the patties are cooking, prepare the dill sauce by combining the sour cream, chopped dill, lemon zest, and minced capers in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
8. Serve the salmon patties hot with the creamy dill sauce on the side. Enjoy!
