Salmon Patties

My parents used to always make salmon patties when I was growing up and I loved them but never really made them on my own before. When I talked to my mom on the phone the other day she told me they had krabby patties for dinner (a joke because I accidentally called them that one night when I was younger after watching Spongebob). These are a great, quick dinner recipe that can be paired with anything! My favorite side dishes with it are cauliflower mashed potatoes and green beans. I also love topping them with my dill sauce.
