Salmon Patties
1 (15 3/4 oz.) can salmon drained
2 eggs- beaten
Approx. 16-20 crackers (must be enough to hold together mixture to form patties)
1/2 med. onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Empty 1 can salmon & juice into large mixing bowl (remove bones). Add 2 eggs. Add lemon juice. Stir mixture well. Add onion,celery, pepper, crackers. Stir.
Form into patties 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Set aside on plate or wax paper (make 5-6 patties). Let set 5 minutes.
In large frying pan heat 1/2 inch cooking oil to med. high temperature. Do not skimp on oil. When oil is hot place patties in pan and cook 4-5 minutes per side. Make sure patties get cooked all way through. Center should not be cold.
This sounds very good to me. My mother used to fix salmon patties every now and then. Now if I could only get my wife to try salmon. She refuses to even sample it, I guess because it doesn't look like the fish she's used to eating.
