Ingredients
Scale
For salmon patties:
- 1 lb raw salmon, skin and pin bones removed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 large egg
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- juice from 1 1/2 small lemons
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- salt and pepper to taste, optional
- olive oil, for cooking
For dill yogurt sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Make the yogurt sauce. Mix the yogurt with lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
- Place salmon in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Alternately, you can chop it finely by hand.
- Place salmon in a large bowl with quinoa, egg, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper, if using. Mix until well combined.
- Using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop, form mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick each.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil the skillet and swirl to coat. Working in batches, salmon patties in the skillet. Don't over crowd the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden, about 5-6 minutes per side.
- Flip carefully with a flat spatula and continue cooking until patties are cooked through. Repeat with remaining salmon patties.
- Serve salmon patties with dill sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- To use canned salmon: Replace fresh salmon with 12 oz canned salmon and increase egg to 2 large eggs. Decrease the cooking time to about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Herbs: Feel free to substitute other fresh herbs, such as chives, basil, or parsley. You can also use 2 tsp dried dill in place of the fresh in the salmon patties.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
