Ingredients
- 2 cans salmon, drained
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, parsley, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix until the mixture holds together easily.
- Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the salmon patties for several minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate briefly to remove excess oil.

Notes
- Cooked fresh salmon can replace canned salmon.
- Bell peppers or celery add extra crunch and flavor.
- Dill or green onions can replace parsley for different herb flavors.
- Crushed crackers work well instead of breadcrumbs.
- Air frying or baking creates a lighter alternative to pan-frying.
