Drain the liquid from two 213 gram cans of salmon and empty it into a bowl.

Remove the bones and skin from the salmon as much as possible, then flake the salmon without mashing it.

Add 1/2 cup of finely diced white onion to the bowl with the salmon.

Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped red bell pepper to the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of finely diced parsley to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mixture.

Add 2 finely diced medium garlic cloves to the bowl.

Add 1 finely diced green chili for heat.

Add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce (optional).

Make fresh breadcrumbs from 3 slices of whole wheat bread and add to the mixture (about 1 cup).

Add 2 large eggs to the mixture to help bind the patties.

Add approximately 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture, keeping in mind that the canned salmon is already salty.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the mixture.

Gently mix all the ingredients together with a light touch to avoid breaking up the salmon flakes.

Form the mixture into patties, being gentle to maintain the salmon flakes.

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add vegetable oil once heated.

Add four salmon patties to the skillet at a time.

Cook the patties for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Check the patties after about 3 minutes and flip them over if they have a nice color.
