Ingredients

2 cups fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup chopped green onions
2 large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill weed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
14 ¾ ounces leftover cooked salmon, flaked
2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed

Directions

Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs onto a plate; place remaining 1 1/2 cups into a large mixing bowl.
Add parsley, green onions, eggs, dill, lemon juice, and pepper to bread crumbs in the mixing bowl; mix until well combined. Add salmon and mix thoroughly with your hands to break salmon up into small pieces. Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Dip patties into bread crumbs on the plate to coat both sides.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches and adding more butter as necessary, fry salmon cakes until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

Tips

Use a 14.75-ounce can of salmon (drained) if desired.
