Mediterranean Salmon Spinach Patties

Print Recipe

Golden salmon patties with spinach, feta, and fresh herbs served with lemon and tzatziki.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 340 g canned salmon, drained and flaked
  • 100 g fresh spinach, finely chopped or 70 g frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 40 g red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 50 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 60 g breadcrumbs, panko or regular
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 8 g fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 g fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 15 ml lemon juice
  • 2 g lemon zest
  • 1 g dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • Lemon wedges
  • Tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. Open and thoroughly drain the canned salmon. Remove any bones or skin, then flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach for approximately 2 minutes until wilted. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool. Squeeze out all excess moisture to ensure a firm patty mixture.
  3. Add the flaked salmon, prepared spinach, red onion, garlic, crumbled feta, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, parsley, dill (if using), lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
  4. With clean hands, form the mixture into 6 to 8 uniform patties, each approximately 7.5 cm wide. Compress gently to ensure the patties hold together during frying.
  5. Heat a generous layer of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a side of Tzatziki sauce.

Notes

For best texture, remove as much moisture as possible from the spinach to prevent the patties from falling apart.
