Step-by-Step Instructions for Canned Salmon Patties
  1. Begin by draining the canned salmon thoroughly and flaking it into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, diced bell pepper, eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the flaked salmon. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into patties, each about 2-3 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate.
  4. In a non-stick skillet, heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom, allowing it to heat until shimmering.
  5. Gently place the patties in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve once cooled slightly.
