Chop the smoked salmon into 1/4-inch chunks and place in a large mixing bowl. Add in the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, shallot, garlic, parsley, dill, sea salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Gently mix until well incorporated. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3
Divide mixture into fourths and form into 1-inch thick patties. Place the flour and panko crumbs into separate pie pans. Dip the salmon patties in the flour to cover, shake off excess. Dip each patty into the egg to coat, transfer to the panko crumbs and evenly coat all sides.
4
Heat the canola oil in a large non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes or until oil is very hot, but not smoking. Add the salmon patties and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until medium golden brown. Serve immediately with the Fresh Cut Herb & Lemon Aioli.
