Ingredients
- 1 can 14.75 oz wild-caught salmon, drained

- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs optional for extra texture
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

- Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 6-8 portions and shape them into round, flat patties.
- Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
