Salmon Patties
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 large or 8 small patties
Ingredients:
- 1 can (~15 oz) pink salmon
- 1 egg (beaten)
- ¼-½ cup saltine cracker or bread crumbs
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- dash of salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions:
- Beat the egg in a medium-sized bowl.
- Drain the salmon (do not remove the bones; mash them in—this adds calcium) and place in the bowl with the egg. Mash with fork until no big chunks are left.
- Starting with half of the crumbs mix all of the ingredients, except the canola oil. If the mixture seems too wet to make patties add remaining crumbs.
- Form into 8 small patties or 4 large patties.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet. Fry the patties over medium heat, turning them only once, until golden. (about 5 minutes per side). Enjoy!
