Parsley or other fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

1. Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin if desired.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon with beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, and seasonings.
3. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. Shape the mixture into small patties, about 8-12 depending on size.
5. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
6. Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
7. Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
8. Serve warm as a main dish, appetizer, or in sandwiches.
9. Accompany with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or dill sauce for extra flavor.
10. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days or freeze for longer storage.
11. For a healthier option, bake the patties in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
12. Enjoy as a quick and economical meal packed with protein and omega-3s.

Notes

Add a small amount of Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce to the mixture for extra depth of flavor.

For a crispy texture, coat the patties lightly in additional breadcrumbs before frying.

If baking instead of frying, brush the patties with a little oil to help them brown nicely.
