Instructions

  • Use a spatula to mix everything together.
  • Add ⅓ cup of breadcrumbs to a plate.
  • Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Take spoonfuls of salmon mixture, flatten with your hands and coat with breadcrumbs on both sides.
  • Cook each salmon patty for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain the excess oil.
  • Serve while still warm with Tzatziki sauce or dill garlic sour cream sauce.
  • Refrigerate the leftover patties.

For the dill sauce.

  • For the dill sauce simply mix sour cream or Greek yogurt with fresh dill, lemon juice, salt and a touch of garlic powder. It adds a bright, herby contrast to the salmon.
