Make the rice: add rice, water, and half of the olive oil in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let sit covered for 5 more minutes. Once done fluff with a fork. Add the rest of the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, lemon juice, and cilantro to the pot of rice and mix until incorporated.

While the rice cooks make your salmon patties: add salmon, mustard, panko crumbs, red onion, capers, and pepper to a food processor. Mix until the ingredients are roughly combined, don’t over mix.
