3-Ingredient Salmon Patties

 Introduction

 Ingredients

• 2 cans (14–15 oz each) pink salmon, drained and flaked

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (shaker-style works best)

Instructions

1. Prepare the salmon:

   Drain the canned salmon thoroughly. Flake it with a fork and remove any large bones or skin if preferred.

2. Mix the ingredients:

   In a bowl, combine the salmon, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and sticky. Let it rest for a few minutes if it feels too loose.

3. Shape the patties:

   Form the mixture into 10–12 patties, about 2–2½ inches wide and ½ inch thick.

4. Cook the patties:

   Heat a skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of oil. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and repeat:

   Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess oil. Cook remaining patties in batches.

6. Store or serve:

   Let cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in a container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or enjoy cold.
