  • Quarter tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • Non-stick cooking spray (as required)

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CANNED SALMON:

  • This is the main element in this recipe, and we will be using the salmon from a can. This is because the salmon inside a can is already cooked, which saves overall time for making the recipe, and the use of salmon actually becomes easier. This component can also include healthy fats and protein in the overall dish. Another option for you to utilize is cooking salmon yourself.

EGG:

  • We will be using an egg since this is a patty recipe, and we need something to create the shape of the patties to cook them. Hence, the egg provides the shape of the patties by properly combining the overall mix for the patties. Egg whites can also be an option for you to utilize if you prefer lowering your caloric count.

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • This is actually a good alternative to heavy mayonnaise, so that the WW points do not rise much, and this component also helps in making the patties soft. Low-fat yogurt will also work fine in this recipe.

WHOLE WHEAT BREADCRUMBS:

  • These whole wheat breadcrumbs will include fiber to the patties, and they can perform as the binder for the patties as well. For an alternative option, try the use of oat flour.

DIJON MUSTARD:

  • We will be needing this so that it includes a nice tangy taste to the patties. The flavor of the dish will improve as well. An alternative for this can be yellow mustard.

LEMON JUICE:

  • The taste of the salmon will improve with the use of lemon juice, as it will eliminate the extra taste of the meat. If fresh lemon juice is not available to you, try using the one from a bottle.

SPICES & HERBS:

  • All the herbs and spices in the ingredient list will not raise any WW points and will make the taste of the patties better. Other ideas for you to utilize can be chives or even dill.

NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY:

  • This component will help in keeping the overall dish lighter than regular oil. For Weight Watchers recipes, we try to reduce the use of oil so that the points do not rise much. This product will also help in cooking the salmon patties properly.

  1. Remove the flakes of the salmon with the use of a fork inside a bowl.
  2. Include lemon juice, mustard, Greek yogurt, and egg inside the bowl as well.
  3. Then comes the addition of spices, parsley, and breadcrumbs.
