How to make these Spicy Chili Salmon Patties

Using a large mixing bowl, add in your pork rind crumbs, salmon, spices, Rotel, chilies, and eggs.

Take the mixture and form into patties. The thickness might vary but try to make them about 1/2 inch thick, if possible.

If you find that your mixture isn’t really holding together because of too much moisture, add in an extra 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and mix.

Add your patties and cook on each side until golden and thoroughly cooked.

Remove from skillet and top with Rotel.
