3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick using your hands. Smooth the edges to prevent cracking during frying.
   
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer and small bubbles form around the edges—about 2 minutes.
   
5. Place the salmon patties into the hot skillet and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a deep golden-brown crust and are cooked through. Listen for a sizzle and look for a crispy exterior.
   
6. Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges or herbs if desired.
