Ingredients
- 12 oz cooked or canned salmon, flaked
- 1 egg

- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine salmon, egg, breadcrumbs or almond flour, feta, red onion, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- Mix gently until the mixture holds together. Add more breadcrumbs if too wet.
- Form the mixture into 4–6 small patties.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve hot with tzatziki, salad, or in pita bread.
Notes
- Use almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs to keep the recipe gluten-free.

- Try adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra flavor.
- Patties can be baked at 375°F for 15–20 minutes as a lighter alternative.
