Description

These salmon patties are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Parmesan cheese adds a rich, slightly salty flavor while helping the patties hold together without needing breadcrumbs, making them perfect for a low-carb diet.
The result is a light yet filling dish with a delicious seafood taste.

Tips

• Drain the salmon well to prevent the patties from becoming too soft.
• If the mixture feels too wet, add a little extra Parmesan cheese.
• Use a non-stick pan to keep the patties from sticking.
• For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder, black pepper, or chopped parsley (optional).

Correction / Notes

• Make sure the salmon is well drained before mixing.
• Do not cook on very high heat, or the patties may burn before cooking through.
• If the patties fall apart, gently press them together again before cooking.
