Ingredients
For the Patties:
-
2 cans (6 oz each) salmon, drained and flaked
-
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 1/2 cup thawed, drained frozen spinach)
-
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
-
Prepare the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, chopped spinach, red onion, minced garlic, and crumbled feta cheese.
-
Form the patties: Use your hands to shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter, pressing gently to hold them together.
-
Cook the patties: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad.
Notes
-
You can add more Mediterranean flavors like olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs (oregano or dill) to the patties for an extra twist.
-
For a lighter option, these patties can also be baked. Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
