Use 1 can (14.75 ounces) or 2 cans (6-7.5 oz) 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 ghee. 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. Serves 3 – 4. Enjoy!
