Preparation

1. Mix ingredients

• In a bowl, combine salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, onion, herbs, and seasonings
• Mix until it holds together but is not too wet

2. Shape patties

• Form into small patties, about 2–3 inches wide
• Press gently so they hold shape
• If mixture is too soft, add a little more breadcrumbs

3. Chill (recommended)

• Place patties in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes
• This helps them firm up and prevents breaking
