Salmon Walnut Fritters

Salmon Walnut Fritters are a delightful blend of flaky salmon and crunchy walnuts, combined with fresh herbs and spices for added flavor. These fritters are pan-fried to a golden crisp and make a nutritious and satisfying snack or meal.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

  • 150 grams cooked and flaked  salmon fillet
  • 30 grams finely chopped walnuts
  • 50 grams finely chopped onion
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Procedure:

  • Cook the salmon fillet until fully cooked. Allow it to cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces.

  • Add the beaten egg and whole wheat flour to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Shape the mixture into small patties or fritters, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fritters. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Nutritional Benefits:
