In a large bowl, combine the drained salmon, breaking it up with a fork into smaller pieces.
Add the eggs, rolled oats, onion, parsley, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the salmon.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter each.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice or your favorite dipping sauce.
