Salmon Cakes with Spinach, Feta, and Lemon 🐟🍋

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Salmon

1. If using fresh salmon, bake or steam until just cooked through, then flake with a fork.
2. If using canned salmon, drain well and remove any bones or skin if desired.

2️⃣ Prepare the Mixture

1. In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, spinach, feta cheese, onion, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, and breadcrumbs.
2. Mix gently until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed; add more breadcrumbs if too wet.

3️⃣ Shape the Patties

1. Form the mixture into 6–8 patties, about 2 cm (1 inch) thick.
2. Place the patties on a tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up.

4️⃣ Cook the Salmon Cakes

1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Fry the salmon cakes for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip carefully to avoid breaking.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

• Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of lemon and dill sauce, or as a filling in pita bread with fresh veggies.
• For a side, pair with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a healthy and satisfying meal.
