These Asian-inspired salmon patties are a delightful twist on a classic dish, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Combine the fresh salmon, chopped scallions, cilantro, egg, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the salmon is finely chopped for a smoother texture in the patties.
In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.
Toast the sesame seeds beforehand for a nuttier flavor.
Shape the salmon mixture into patties and coat them in the panko-sesame mixture.
Chill the patties for 30 minutes to help them firm up before cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Fry the patties for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of vegetables or rice.
Garnish with additional cilantro or a wedge of lime for a fresh touch.
