Flavorful Southern Fried Salmon Patties Recipe

Rinse the salmon filets in cold water. Press with paper towels to remove excess water. Cook salmon in microwave for about 2½ minutes. Or, pan fry, if desired to cook it that way. Then, set aside to cool.
1½ lbs salmon
Add all Patties Ingredients (except hot salmon) to mixing bowl. Then, if salmon has cooled enough to handle, break it apart and add to the same bowl. Remove most skin to discard, where possible.
1 cup bread crumbs, ⅓ cup parsley flakes, 2 large eggs, ⅔ medium onion, 1½ Tablespoon Old Bay seasoning, ¼ teaspoons ground black pepper, 1½ Tablespoon minced garlic, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 3 Tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand. Add a very small layer of oil to frying pan and heat to medium.
3 Tablespoon olive oil
When pan is hot, form the salmon patties (about 2-3 inches diameter) and add to pan. Cook each side about 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat a little below medium if needed. Serve with cocktail sauce, dill sauce, tartar sauce, or ketchup.
