Recipe of the Week-Salmon Patties

If you are on a budget but still like to have fish for dinner this is a great recipe. These salmon patties are made from canned salmon, yeah does not sound to appealing but it really is not that bad. Plus if you are having a hard time getting your kids to eat fish this also might be a great recipe for you.

Salmon Patties

2- (6 oz.) cans of boneless, skinless salmon; drained (Bumble Bee is the only brand that I think makes it)

1 egg

1 tablespoon or so of Mayo or Miracle Whip

6-10 Saltine Crackers crushed to fine crumbs

dash of pepper

Beat egg in medium size bowl, add mayo or Miracle Whip; mix

Add Salmon and pepper to egg mixture; mix

Then add saltine crumbs until mixture sticks together and can be made into patties.

Heat on high a few tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil in a skillet. Add the patties and cook on one side until brown then flip. Should only take 5 min or so on each side. The salmon is already cooked in the can so you only need to heat it through and brown the outsides.
