Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, sautéing for about 7–9 minutes until golden and softened.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, flake the well-drained salmon and mix in the sautéed onion and red bell pepper, panko, beaten egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and parsley.
  3. Form the mixture into patties about 2 inches wide and ⅓ to ½ inch thick, laying them out on a plate.
  4. In a non-stick pan, heat the remaining olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the cooked patties to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately while warm.
  6. Continue cooking any remaining patties, adding more oil and butter if needed.
