There was nothing wrong with the original recipe but I like to fiddle with
recipes :) The results were awesome and definitely a keeper.

Salmon Patties

1 (16 oz) can pink salmon, drained and small round bones removed
1/2 small yellow onion, minced
1/2 small green bell pepper, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg (lightly beaten)
dash cayenne (ground red) pepper
1 tsp. each salt & black pepper
1 Tbs. prepared mayonnaise (if I'd had sour cream I'd have used it instead)
2-3 Tbs. flour
2-3 Tbs. vegetable oil (I used Canola)

In a large skillet, saute the onion, bell pepper and garlic in oil until
soft. Strain and set aside, reserving the oil.

Drain water from salmon; pick out the small round bones. (The bones really
don't matter as they are very soft and crush easily; they won't hurt you.)
Transfer the salmon to a mixing bowl. Break up the salmon with a fork until
it flakes. Add salt, pepper, cayenne and the beaten egg to the salmon.
Stir in the sauteed onion, pepper and garlic. Mix well. Blend in the mayo
or sour cream. Form into 6-8 patties. Dust lightly with flour on each
side.

Heat the oil over medium high-heat (add more as needed for pan-frying).
Brown the salmon patties about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

[Allegedly serves 6. Since I can (and do) eat 3 salmon patties all by my
120 lb. self I sincerely doubt this "serves 6" claim. LOL]

The cookbook recommends serving with grits. I didn't make grits. I like
grits just fine but to me they don't seem to go with salmon patties. Shrimp
& grits, sure. Salmon patties & grits, not so sure. I steamed some yellow
(crookneck) squash instead :)

I make salmon patties quite a bit differently, using raw salmon, potato
flakes, onion, old bay seasoning, egg and a bit of flour and milk as
needed to get the right texture. I process in a food processor or with a
stick blender and after forming the patties I dredge them in bread
crumbs before pan frying them. They come out very good and the cooked
ones freeze and reheat well.



These would freeze well if there were any left. I can't see (given the price) using raw salmon to make something like this. I'm hell and gone away from anywhere near fresh raw salmon. But certainly, carry on ;)
