Ingredients
  

Lemon-Dill Sauce

  • 1 4-ounce plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, minced
  • 1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
  • sea salt, to taste
  • freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste

Salmon Patties:

  • 20 ounces salmon, canned, boneless and skinless, drained
  • 1 teaspoon oil, plus more for frying
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, small-dice
  • 1/4 cup onion, small-dice, or grated
  • sea salt or kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (heaping) tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped
  • 1 (heaping) teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup finely crushed butter crackers, such as Ritz, or bread crumbs, or panko crumbs
  • 2 eggs, lightly scrambled
  • 3 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated or shredded

Instructions
 

  • Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and chill until ready to use, and serve alongside Salmon Patties.
  • Make the Salmon Patties: Add the salmon into a medium bowl, and look through it for any bones and discard them.
  • Add the teaspoon of oil to a medium pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring until softened, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. It should smell fragrant. Add the sauteéd vegetables to the salmon.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and gently stir to combine. At this point, you can make a small patty, fry it in a little oil, and taste for any seasoning you may want to adjust, such as any more salt or lemon pepper.
  • Scoop ⅓ cup amounts of the salmon mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, or you can place them on a large cutting board. Flatten the mixture into patties, approximately ½” thick.
  • Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. If refrigerating for more than 30 minutes, cover the patties to prevent drying.
  • Heat a skillet or shallow pan over medium-low to medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry the patties in batches as necessary, approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until nicely browned, adjusting your heat as necessary to not burn them. Add oil as needed as you fry the patties.
  • Once cooked, remove them to a serving platter. Serve with the Lemon-Dill Sauce.
