 This Easy Salmon Patty recipe is definitely a keeper. Made with canned salmon and simple ingredients, you’ll want to make it again and again.

INGREDIENTS

•   15 oz. canned salmon large bones removed
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 small bell pepper finely diced
• 2 tbsp. mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp. chopped scallion
• salt to taste
• olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the salmon into a medium mixing bowl, and gently flake with a fork.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix everything well.
3. Using a 1/2-cup as a measure, form small patties with your hands.*
4. IF FRYING: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat (use enough oil to generously cover the bottom of the skillet). Fry the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, until crispy and cooked through.
5. IF BAKING: Just drizzle some olive oil onto a large, non-stick cookie sheet, making sure that the surface is evenly covered. Arrange the salmon patties on the sheet and gently brush the tops with some oil. Bake at 425˚F for 15 minutes. Flip, and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
