SALMON PATTIES

YOU WILL NEED:

Iron skillet
Spatula
Bowl
Spoon
Can opener
Fork


INGREDIENTS:

1 can (15oz) pink salmon, drained & cleaned
1/2 sleeve round buttery crackers, crushed
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 small onion, diced fine
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying


1.   Put drained cleaned salmon (break salmon in half lengthwise and remove the spines and the black skin) in bowl.  Add the egg, onion, cracker crumbs and  spices.  Mix well with spoon or fork and form into four patties.  If the patties are to moist just add some more crushed crackers.

2.   Fry on low to medium heat until one side is browned, flip over and brown the other side.


SERVES:  1 - 4

SERVING HINTS:  I always serve salmon with creamed peas.  I pour the peas right on top of the patty.  You could also serve tarter sauce , lemon juice or cocktail sauce with the patties.  Add a side salad or those quick cooking mashed potatoes and you have a fantastic meal.  Refrigerate leftovers.  Heat up for sandwiches the next day or crumble over a salad.
