Salmon Patties

Ingredients:

1 14 oz. can pink salmon
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp lemon juice
1 T fresh parsley, or dried Italian seasoning
1/4 t garlic salt, or season to taste with salt and pepper
1-2 T vegetable or canola oil


Preparation:

Drain and flake the salmon in a medium bowl. Remove the tiny bones and slivers as much as possible.* Combine salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, lemon juice, and seasonings. Blend well. Shape into eight small "burger patties."

In a large skillet, heat a 1/2 inch depth of olive oil, or olive and canola oil (about 4-6 T). Cook salmon patties over medium heat, turning to fry both sides, until they are brown and heated through.

Serve on a bed of lettuce with cold cucumbers in vinegar. For kids of all ages, serve with macaroni and cheese!

*Note from Chicken of the Sea salmon can: The skin and tiny, soft bones are completely edible and an excellent source of calcium and Omega-3 fatty acids. Simply blend skin and bones with salmon and other ingredients.
