Patties with salmon and greens

Salmon and greens patties sound like a delicious and healthy dish! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 cup fresh spinach or kale, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked and flaky. Let it cool slightly, then flake it with a fork.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten egg, and chopped dill or parsley.
   • Stir in the chopped spinach or kale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Mix until all ingredients are well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more beaten egg; if too wet, add more breadcrumbs.

3. Form the Patties:

   • Shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.

4. Cook the Patties:

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve:

   • Serve warm with a side salad, some lemon wedges, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or tartar sauce.

Enjoy your homemade salmon and greens patties! They’re great as a light meal or a tasty appetizer.
