Unfortunately all my recipes come from mom or grandma -- who never measured

anything, but dealt in terms of a dash, a pinch, a ball, a handful, etc. But

if you're willing to play around a bit, the following makes very tasty salmon

patties:

1 can of salmon, drained and bones picked out

1 egg

1 diced onion

some dried parsley

salt & pepper to taste (and some cayenne if u like things hot & spicy)

enuf cracker meal and sour cream to make into " balling " consistency (in other

words, make into balls and then flatten into patties)

brown patties on both sides over medium high heat, in olive oil, and drain on

paper towels; cool on racks before storing

DH absolutely LOVES these things, eats them for breakfast instead of eggs,

etc. I have made as many as TEN cans at one time (10x the recipe), then

divide up into about 4 patties to a baggie, and keep the baggies in the

freezer. They thaw rather quickly, and zap up just fine in the microwave.

You could probably add other favorite spices too, like maybe garlic powder.

I've not been tempted to experiment much, bcuz they're so good just simple

like this.

For real quickies, I open a can of salmon (be sure to keep the soft

salmon bones--calcium!) and mix it with a beaten egg, some

Italian-flavored bread crumbs and about a teaspoon of dried, chopped

onions (I keep the liquid from the can, and it helps to re-constitute

the onions). Make the mixture just firm enough to be able to form

patties without its falling apart--adjust by adding a bit more bread

crumbs until you get to the desired consistency. Then scoop some out

to form a ball about the size of a scoop of ice cream and roll in a

mixture of cracker crumbs and corn flake crumbs; flatten, and fry

over slow-to-moderate heat in a healthy oil of your choice.

With left-over fresh salmon, adjust the recipe to account for the

relative dryness and firmness of the fresh salmon.
