- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to firm up before cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the pan without overcrowding them. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, honey (if using), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
