These versatile patties can be easily customized to fit your pantry or preferences. If you're out of fresh red bell pepper, finely minced celery could offer a similar textural element. For a different flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika alongside the garlic salt. Don't have Panko? Regular bread crumbs can work, though Panko provides that signature crispness. Feel free to adjust the amount of black pepper or even add a pinch of cayenne for a subtle kick.
