Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

Open both cans of salmon and drain away any excess liquid.

Transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl.

Using a fork, gently flake the salmon into small pieces. Remove any large bones if desired, although the soft edible bones can be left in since they provide extra calcium and mash easily into the mixture.

Step 2: Add the Eggs

Crack the two eggs directly into the bowl with the salmon.

The eggs are the main binding ingredient that helps keep the patties together while cooking.

Mix thoroughly until the salmon and eggs are evenly combined.

Step 3: Mix in the Parmesan Cheese

Add the shredded Parmesan cheese to the salmon mixture.

Stir everything together until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

The cheese adds flavor while also helping create a crispy golden crust during cooking.

The mixture should be moist but firm enough to shape. If it feels too wet, let it rest for about 5 minutes so the cheese absorbs some moisture.
