salmon patties
Growing up on a small Illinois farm in the 50s and 60s, I never had much fish. Once a year we had fried catfish from the Wabash River, and Mom occasionally made salmon patties. All these years later, I still keep a can of salmon in the cupboard, and I make salmon patties a few times a year. Mom always fried them, but I find baking them is good also. When you have no leftovers and have forgotten to thaw something for supper, salmon patties are a welcome dinner meat.

How To Make salmon patties
-
1Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a griddle or skillet with olive oil. (Use a silicone pastry brush to spread a 1/2 teaspoon oil over a large area to save calories.)
-
2Drain and discard the liquid from the salmon. Remove the bones if you wish, but doing so isn't necessary. Put the salmon in a medium mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients and mix well with a fork.
-
3Using an ice cream scoop, make mounds of the salmon mixture and put on prepared griddle. Flatten as desired--perhaps use the fork to push down gently. (Or leave mounds.)
-
4Bake 20-25 minutes until the patties are browned.
-
5Note: The roasted red peppers are a relatively new addition to the recipe and can be omitted. But they add a layer of flavor I really like.
-
6I usually eat salmon patties with a bite of sweet pickle.
