Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, eggs, parsley, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise or a splash of milk for added moisture.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
- Scoop out about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form it into a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Step 3: Fry the Patties
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the patties to the skillet in a single layer, cooking them for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
