- 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Step 1
Drain the canned salmon and remove any large bones or skin. Flake the salmon into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

Fry the salmon patties in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
