Salmon patties are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and make a quick, nutritious meal. They’re perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a party appetizer.

- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt

Optional add-ins: chopped bell peppers, celery, or spices like paprika, cayenne, or Old Bay
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Mixture
- In a bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep patties tender.

- Form mixture into 4–6 patties, about ¾–1 inch thick.
- If too sticky, add a little more breadcrumbs.
3️⃣ Cook the Patties
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

- Drain on paper towels.
🍽️ Serving Tips
