- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)

- In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, green onions, bell pepper, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Make sure to coat each patty lightly with additional breadcrumbs for a crispy texture.
