In a medium bowl, combine the drained and flaked salmon, beaten egg, bread crumbs, chopped onion, parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon patties in the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
Serve with your favorite tartar sauce, a side salad, or roasted vegetables. These patties can also be served on a bun for a delicious salmon burger.
