→ Serving Extras

15 - Tzatziki sauce
16 - Lemon wedges

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - After frying, set the patties on some paper towels to soak up any oil. Enjoy them warm with some lemon and a spoonful of Tzatziki.
02 - Pour a bit of olive oil in a skillet on medium. Fry the patties for about 3 or 4 minutes on each side. They should be crisp and golden.
03 - Take the mixture and form between 6 to 8 patties. Make them roughly 3 inches across.
04 - Add the flaked salmon, cooled spinach, red onion, garlic, feta, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, dill (if you'd like), lemon juice, zest, oregano, salt, and pepper into your mixing bowl. Stir it really well so it all comes together.
05 - Toss the spinach in a skillet on medium for a couple of minutes until it shrinks down. Let it cool, then squeeze out all the water you can.
06 - Pop open those salmon cans, drain them out, get rid of any bones or skin you see, then flake the fish into a bowl.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Give the spinach a good squeeze so your patties get crispy instead of soggy.
02 - Panko makes these crunchier than regular breadcrumbs, so go for that if you can.
03 - Not feeling fried? Toss them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes and turn them over halfway.
04 - They're awesome on salad or squished into a bun for a quick salmon sandwich.
