How to Make Slammin Southwestern Salmon Patties Or Salmon Cakes

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing gently until just combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Form the salmon mixture into 4-6 patties, about ½ inch thick.
Cook the patties for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve immediately and enjoy! The cheese helps bind the patties and keeps them moist.
