Ingredients

For 4 servings:

• 14 1/2 oz (418 g) canned salmon, drained, flaked, and pin-boned
• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 oz (40 g) green bell peppers, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Sea salt, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, cooked quinoa, beaten eggs, garlic, lemon zest, green bell peppers, and black pepper. Season with sea salt to taste and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and gently shape each into a patty. Arrange the patties on a plate and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to help them firm up.
3. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Fry in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
4. Remove from the heat and serve hot with lemon wedges and a fresh watercress salad for a refreshing side.
