Ingredients

1 cup Canned Salmon 1 tin
⅔ cup Ritz Crackers, crushed (About 20 crackers or 1 cup before crushing)
1 tablespoon Red Onion, Grated
2 tablespoon Green Onion, Finely Chopped
¾ teaspoon Dried Dill
¾ teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vegetable Oil
Salt + Ground Black Pepper To Taste

Instructions

Drain canned salmon, add to a medium sized bowl and gently break up with a fork.
Add grated onion, chopped green onion, dill, garlic and Old Bay spice. Stir through gently.
Add egg, mayo and lemon juice. Stir to combine well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add cracker crumbs and stir gently to combine.
Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low heat. Add a teaspoon of oil if desired and then add salmon patty mixture in 2-4 tablespoon sized dollops. Press down gently to flatten until ½" thick. Fry until golden on one side. Flip and fry until other side is golden.
Remove from pan and serve while warm.

Notes

Be sure to taste the patty mixture before adding any additional salt. The crackers, salmon and mayo often all contain salt so you may not need to add any more.
