Main Components:
340 g canned salmon, drained and flaked
100 g fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 70 g frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
40 g red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
50 g feta cheese, crumbled
60 g breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
2 large eggs, beaten
8 g fresh parsley, chopped
4 g fresh dill, chopped (optional)
15 ml lemon juice
2 g lemon zest
1 g dried oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for frying
For Serving:
Lemon wedges
Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Prep the Salmon:
Drain the canned salmon well. Remove any bones or skin and flake into a large mixing bowl.
Cook the Spinach:
Sauté spinach in a skillet for about 2 minutes until wilted. Transfer to a plate, cool, and squeeze out excess moisture.
Mix the Patties:
In the bowl with salmon, add the spinach, red onion, garlic, feta, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, dill (optional), lemon juice, zest, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Form Patties:
Shape mixture into 6–8 patties, about 7.5 cm wide. Press firmly to ensure they hold together during cooking.
Pan-Fry:
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Serve:
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with tzatziki and lemon wedges.
Notes
Thoroughly drain spinach and salmon to prevent soggy patties.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
Patties can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen before frying.
Add a pinch of chili flakes for extra heat if desired.
