This is my favorite salmon patty recipe. I am posting this so I won't lose it. It was on the back of a Chicken of the Sea Pink Salmon packett.

Directions

1. Combine first seven ingredients in bowl. Stir in salmon, egg and 1/3 - cup breadcrumbs. Form mixture into four balls, I use an ice cream scoop and it makes 4 perfect patties. Roll salmon balls in remaining breadcrumbs; flatten into cakes about 1/2 - inch thick. In skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry three to four minutes per side or until golden brown.
