Instructions

Pulse the salmon chunks and eggs in a food processor until the salmon is broken into ⅛-inch pieces. Aim for a chunky texture; 15 pulses should suffice. Alternatively, you can chop the salmon by hand and mix with eggs in a large bowl.
In a large bowl, combine the salmon mixture with panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, dill, chives, salt, and garlic powder. Mix using your hands or a spatula.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾-inch thick.
Place the patties on a lined pan and freeze them for 15-30 minutes to help them hold together during cooking.

Notes

Using disposable gloves can make mixing easier and more hygienic.
Freezing the patties helps them cook evenly and prevents them from falling apart.
Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite ingredients.
