Instructions:
- Prepare the Salmon:
- Open the can of salmon and drain the liquid.

- Shape Patties:
- Use your hands or a spoon to form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

- Fry the Patties:
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
