I added garlic and onion powder (with your heart)
Take off heat and let cool
Add this mixture to the salmon mixture.
You can add bread crumbs (or not) to make patties stick together
Form patties and Fry in pan with hot oil and butter
When crispy on both sides remove from pan and keep warm in oven by
Placing on a rack (if you want to, you can drain on paper towel.
Add 4 tablespoon of butter with 4 tablespoons of flour to pan that
you cooked the salmon in and add 1 cup of broth (or water)

add seasonings like powdered garlic, onions, pepper etc. If you want
to make spicy add red pepper flakes, etc. You can also add lemon at this time.

A salad or vegetable (I chose lima beans as our side)
