# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Warm some olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Fry each patty for 3 to 4 minutes on both sides till they're golden and a bit crispy.
02 -
Take the mix and press it into 6 to 8 patties around 3 inches wide each.
03 -
Throw the shredded salmon, wilted spinach, onion, garlic, feta, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, dill if you want, lemon juice, zest, oregano, salt, and pepper into a big bowl. Stir well till everything's mixed evenly.
04 -
Open the salmon cans and drain the liquid. Pick out any skin or bones and shred the fish into a large bowl.
05 -
Cook your spinach in a skillet over medium for about 2 minutes till it wilts. Let it cool a bit then get out as much water as you can by squeezing it tightly.
06 -
Put cooked patties on some paper towels to soak up extra oil. Serve them warm with lemon wedges and some cool Tzatziki on the side.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Make sure to squeeze the spinach really dry to help your patties get crispy.
02 -
If you like 'em crunchier, pick panko breadcrumbs instead of the usual kind.
03 -
Want a lighter version? Bake patties in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 20 minutes and flip halfway through.
