Directions
Use 1 can (14.75 ounces) or 2 cans (6-7.5 oz) Tulip® or other Trident Seafoods® Alaska canned salmon, drained and chunked.
Combine drained salmon, quinoa, eggs, panko, bell pepper, onion, salt and pepper. Form into patties (1/4 cup each). Cover and refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes, to firm.
In a bowl, blend sour cream, dill and lemon zest.
Lightly coat a nonstick pan with oil. Warm over medium heat, then add patties, several at a time, and cook until golden brown on both sides. Keep warm.
For each serving, place patties on a plate and drizzle with dill sauce.
