Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get cooking! First, I like to start by preparing my salmon fillet. I chop it into smaller pieces and toss it in my mixing bowl. Then I mash it up a bit with a fork to break it down into smaller bits. I find that this gives the patties a great texture! Next, I add in the chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and zest. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper for that extra kick! Mix it all up until everything is well combined. It should be somewhat sticky but hold together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
