Ingredients (Only 3!)

- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work best)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
Open the canned salmon and drain it thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Place it in a medium-sized bowl and use a fork to break it apart into small flakes.
Tip: If your canned salmon contains skin or bones, you can either remove them or mash them in—they’re soft and rich in nutrients like calcium.
Step 2: Add the Binding Ingredients
Crack the egg into the bowl with the salmon. Then add the shredded cheese.
The egg acts as a binder, helping the patties hold their shape, while the cheese adds flavor and helps create that golden crust when cooked.
