Ingredients

1 can (400g) Chickpeas *drained and mashed
1 can (210g) Salmon *drained, boned removed if you prefer
1/2 Onion *grated OR very finely chopped
1 clove Garlic *grated
*Note: You can add some finely chopped Vegetables such as Carrot, Broccoli, Capsicum, Mushrooms, etc.
1 Egg
2 tablespoons chopped Parsley, Coriander, Dill, Basil, etc.
1/4 teaspoon Salt *You need to add more if Chickpeas and Salmon are not salted
1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper OR Chilli
Your favourite Spices *Today I added 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin & 1/4 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1 to 2 tablespoons Oil for cooking

Method
  1. If you grate Onion, a lot of water would come out. Drain to remove excess water but no need to squeeze.
  2. Use a fork to mash drained Chickpeas. Drained Salmon including bones and skin can be used, but you may prefer to remove bones and skin.
  3. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well to combine, and form 8 patties. Heat Oil in a large frying pan over medium low heat, cook Patties until both sides are nicely browned.
