- 40 g red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 50 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 60 g breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 2 large eggs, beaten

- 2 g lemon zest
- 1 g dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Open and thoroughly drain the canned salmon. Remove any bones or skin, then flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the spinach for approximately 2 minutes until wilted. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool. Squeeze out all excess moisture.

- Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and Tzatziki sauce.
Notes
Use fresh spinach for better flavor. Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to help patties hold together.
