Cook quinoa using the two to one method, similar to rice, boiling and then simmering for about 15 minutes until all water is absorbed.

In a mixing bowl, add the salmon without draining it, including bones and skin if desired.

Add chopped green onion, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and beaten eggs to the salmon.

Add quinoa gradually, mixing with clean hands to check the consistency for forming patties.

Season with old bay seasoning and black pepper to taste.

Heat safflower oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Form patties and add them to the skillet, cooking until brown on each side for a couple of minutes.

Flip the patties carefully when they start to look crisp around the edges.

If the mixture isn't holding together, remember that additional eggs may be needed if the recipe is doubled.

Remove the patties from the skillet once cooked and serve.
