Ingredients:

  • 1 pound uncooked skinless wild salmon fillet
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped uncooked onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the seasoned fillet on a small baking sheet and roast in the oven until just opaque in the center, about 12 to 15 minutes. Allow the salmon to cool completely.
  2. Flake the Salmon: Once cooled, remove and discard the skin from the salmon. In a large bowl, use a fork to flake the fish into medium-sized chunks. Add the chopped onions, green bell peppers, hot sauce, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  3. Bind the Ingredients: Fold in the lightly beaten egg and all-purpose flour until well combined. The egg and flour will help bind the ingredients together and form the patties. Shape the mixture into 4 patties, each about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Place the patties in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Chilling helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.
  4. Cook the Patties: In a large nonstick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Swirl the butter to coat the pan evenly. Add the chilled salmon patties to the skillet and cook until crispy and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Carefully flip the patties and continue cooking until browned and cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, transfer the salmon patties to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve hot and savor the delicious flavors of your homemade creation.
