Prepare the Salmon: Open the can of salmon and drain it well. Flake the salmon with a fork until broken into smaller pieces.

Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, bell pepper, eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.

Shape the Patties: Dampen your hands slightly, scoop portions of the mixture, and shape them into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Heat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.

Fry the Patties: Place patties into the hot skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain Excess Oil: Transfer cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.
