Instructions:

1. Mix the Patties:
   In a large bowl, combine the salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, feta, herbs, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), egg, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

2. Shape:
   Form into 6–8 patties. Chill for 10–15 minutes if time allows (helps them hold together).

3. Cook:
   Heat 2–3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through.

4. Serve:
   Serve warm with tzatziki sauce, a fresh salad, or in pita bread with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber.
