1 lb salmon fillet, cooked and flaked (you can also use canned salmon for convenience)

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative for lactose intolerance)

½ cup breadcrumbs (optional, you can omit or use crushed saltine crackers for a softer texture)

1 egg, beaten (helps bind the patties; for a softer texture, you can add another egg)

2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (optional, for flavor)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon dill or parsley, finely chopped, for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon: If using fresh salmon, pre-cook it by baking in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until easily flaked with a fork. Allow it to cool, then flake the salmon into small pieces with a fork. If using canned salmon, drain it and remove any skin and bones, then flake.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, milk, breadcrumbs (if using), beaten egg, green onions, and herbs (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Gently mix until the ingredients are well combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more milk to achieve a moist consistency that will hold together when formed into patties.

3. Form Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. The mixture should make about 6-8 patties, depending on size.

4. Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Gently place the patties in the skillet, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Be gentle when flipping the patties to keep them intact.

5. Serve: Serve the soft salmon patties warm. They can be paired with a side of mashed potatoes or a soft vegetable puree for a complete meal.
