Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Most salmon patty recipes call for crackers, breadcrumbs, or flour to hold everything together. But this version skips all of that entirely. The egg does the binding work beautifully, and the result is a patty that’s lighter, more protein-packed, and naturally gluten-free. It’s the kind of simple genius that older generations just knew instinctively.
