Heat 2 tablespoons of oil on a frying pan / grill pan over medium heat. When hot add the salmon patties. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until golden and slightly firm, flip over and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 1 minute. The cooking time will depend on type of the pan, heat and thickness of the burgers. If you're making thin burger you can cook them quickly over high heat. When making thicker burger, like I did, you need to cook them more slowly, over medium heat, so that they have time to be cooked through in the middle.
