- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt

Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin. Flake the salmon into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 5
Fry the salmon patties in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
