Description

Healthy and flavorful patties made with salmon, spinach, and aromatic herbs, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Tzatziki sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Open and thoroughly drain the canned salmon. Remove any bones or skin, then flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach for approximately 2 minutes until wilted. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool. Squeeze out all excess moisture.
  3. Add the flaked salmon, prepared spinach, red onion, garlic, crumbled feta, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, parsley, dill (if using), lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and black pepper to a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  4. With clean hands, form the mixture into 6 to 8 patties, each about 7.5 cm wide.
  5. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and Tzatziki sauce.

Notes

Use fresh spinach for better flavor. Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to help patties hold together.
