Instructions

Prepare the Salmon Patties:
Finely chop the fresh salmon fillets using a sharp knife or food processor until they’re broken down into small pieces.

Combine Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped green onions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Shape the Patties:
Shape the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick.

Cook the Patties:
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Make the Lemon-Garlic Sauce:
While the patties are cooking, in a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and additional lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Serve:
Serve the golden-brown salmon patties topped with a generous drizzle of creamy lemon-garlic sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

For Extra Flavor: Feel free to add herbs like parsley or dill to the salmon mixture or sauce for an extra flavor boost.

Substitute: If you prefer a healthier option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for the sauce.

Serve With: These patties pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or even over a bed of quinoa or rice.
