How to make this old fashioned salmon patties recipe

STEP ONE – In a bowl add the sauce ingredients. Mix until completely combined. Place in the fridge until ready to serve. 

STEP TWO – In a large bowl add the salmon. With clean hands break the salmon apart. Discard any bones that you may find. 

STEP THREE- To the bowl add the egg, white ends of the onions, panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix until combined. 

STEP FOUR – To a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil. Use a brush to make sure the bottom of the skillet is coated. 

STEP FIVE – Use a measuring cup to scoop out ¼ cup of salmon mixture. With clean hands form the salmon mixture into burger shapes. You can use ½ cup so as to create thicker salmon cakes. This will result in 4 salmon cakes.

STEP SIX – Place the salmon cakes in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip the salmon cakes over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until everything is heated through and you have a golden brown crust. Throughout cooking you can add more avocado oil.
