Ingredients:

For the Salmon Patty Base:

• 1 can (14.75 ounces) salmon, drained and flaked
• ¼ cup finely chopped onion
• ¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
• ¼ cup finely chopped celery
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. This initial step sets the stage for perfectly balanced salmon patties.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon with finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Mix carefully to ensure even distribution of vegetables throughout the salmon.
3. Add breadcrumbs to the salmon mixture. Pour in the beaten egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and paprika over the top.
4. Gently stir all ingredients together. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it seems too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. If too wet, incorporate additional breadcrumbs.
5. Using clean hands, shape the salmon mixture into patties. Aim for about ½ inch thickness. You should be able to create 6 to 8 patties depending on their size.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot and shimmering. Carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet.
7. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Look for a beautiful golden-brown crust that's crispy and inviting. You might need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
8. Once cooked, transfer the salmon patties to a paper towel-lined plate. This helps absorb any excess oil and keeps the patties crisp.
