ELLEN'S CRISPY SALMON PATTIES image

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 can(s) (14-15 oz.) pink salmon or 2 small cans boneless skinless salmon
1 large egg
1/2 c saltine cracker crumbs
1/2 tsp dried minced onion
1/2 tsp dried dill (or fresh if you prefer)
pinch dried parsley
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c crisco oil

Steps:

  • 1. If using boned salmon, remove the bones and skin and discard. Place salmon into a medium bowl. Flake with a fork until separated; add the egg, cracker crumbs, minced onion , dill, and parsley. Mix well.
  • 2. With clean hands, shape salmon into 4-6 patties. Place on waxed paper, and dredge in flour. If they have a tendency to fall apart, add more cracker crumbs.
  • 3. Heat oil in large skillet until hot. Add salmon patties and brown on both sides over medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon juice, tartar sauce, or any topping of your choice. Or maybe you prefer them plain. Enjoy!
