The reason?
Because I've stopped putting them in the frying pan, silly.
I bake them on parchment paper on a sheet pan instead.
They're healthier that way, too, baked, not fried in oil, and make a lot less mess.
I use a big can of wild sockeye salmon drained, a couple of eggs mashed in, and a cup of prepared rice folded in to make about four patties. Then bake on the pan on the parchment at 375 F for thirty to thirty-five minutes.
Serve topped with your choice of lemon pepper seasoning, apricot preserves, ketchup, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, etc.
You have choice!
