Easy Salmon Patties Recipe
Notes:
● This recipe lists one egg. Two eggs would make for a better binder if you like egg. So, while one egg works, two eggs work too.
● Italian seasoning is used. You can change it up and use dried dill weed or thyme.
● If you do not like dried red chili flakes, omit them from the recipe.
● For a variation, try adding chopped sweet onions, or sauté green onions in the pan for flavor before adding the salmon patties (up the butter a tad).
● Garnish with tartar sauce, chives, parsley flakes, pickles, lettuce and/or tomato.
● These salmon patties may be served on a bun as a sandwich, or plain as a main entrée.

This is a great idea! We eat salmon pretty often and I’ve gotten a bit bored with our normal prep. Salmon patties would be a nice change!
