- Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the salmon cakes in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the salmon cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Tips
- For added flavor, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the salmon mixture for a spicy kick.
- You can also substitute half of the breadcrumbs with crushed crackers or panko for extra crunch.
- Feel free to add other herbs like parsley or chives to customize the flavor to your liking.
