Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, hummus, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, minced capers, smoked paprika, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together using your hands until well combined. Cover and chill for 20 to 30 minutes.
While the mixture is chilling, prepare the Lemony Tartar Sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients in another bowl. Set it aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
After chilling, scoop out portions of the salmon mixture using a 1/3-cup measure and form 8 patties, each about ¾-inch thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the patties to the skillet and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the reverse side is golden.
Transfer the cooked salmon patties to a plate and add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Repeat cooking with the remaining patties.
Serve the salmon patties with the Lemony Tartar Sauce or your favorite sauce, garnished with extra fresh dill and lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Notes

Chilling the salmon mixture helps the patties hold together better during cooking.
Feel free to customize the tartar sauce by adding ingredients like chopped pickles or herbs to enhance its flavor.
These patties freeze well; store them in an airtight container for future meals.
