Instructions
- Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, grated carrot, chopped celery, chopped green onion, and dill weed in a bowl.
- Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
- Cover and chill the mixture before serving.
- Drain and boned salmon, then flake into a bowl.
- Add oat bran and slightly beaten egg white to the salmon and mix until combined.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. If you don’t have oat bran hot cereal, you can substitute with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers. Instead of plain yogurt, you might use Greek yogurt for a thicker sauce. Don't skip chilling the yogurt mixture, as it enhances the flavors significantly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon patties with the remaining yogurt sauce drizzled on top. They pair wonderfully with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables. For a complete meal, consider serving with a side of quinoa or brown rice. These patties also complement dishes like Easy Sour Cream Flounder.

Store any leftover salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through, or bake in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
