What's for Lunch? Salmon Patties


This is very simple to prepare and very tasty.

2 cans salmon (approx 7 oz each)
12 saltine crackers, crushed
1 egg,
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Mix all these ingredients together. (I think I ended up using basil instead of parsley.... I don't know what I grabbed from my herb garden, but it tasted fine either way!) Coat the bottom of a pan with oil (I used olive oil) and form 7 to 8 patties. I formed round balls and then flattened them with the spatula, it works better for me this way. Brown on each side on medium high heat and you're done!

  3. You might like to check out my mom's tuna fritters which work well with canned salmon too. They come out looking like patties too, but are like a fluffy fried patty type thing. Check it out:

  4. Elisa, I'd like to know how they turned out.

    Lyndsey, Yes, I believe I saw a post of yours for salmon patties last year. Yuca is not that easy to come by here. When I do find it, I'll give it a try.

    Nathan, interesting twist for tuna!
