Last night for supper, I made a dish from my childhood...Salmon patties. They are highly nutritious, and delicious. This morning the house still smells like salmon, and since I made a double batch, it will smell this way for a few days. Light a candle!
Salmon Patties
1 can of salmon, drained. (Give the salmon water to your cat!)
2 eggs
1 cup of panko bread crumbs
Mix together and shape into patties. Pan fry in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and a couple tablespoons of butter until golden brown, flipping once. About 10 minutes total over medium heat, probably less if you have a gas range instead of an electric stove.
When you kids were small, i used regular breadcrumbs for this. What I love about the panko bread crumbs is the crispiness they give to the cakes. I do find that the panko absorbs the olive oil and butter, so I added more to the pan before frying the second batch. I drain them on paper towels after frying them. They are so good I picked one up and ate it with my bare hands while I was frying the second batch.
This is a great meal served with potatoes of your choice, a steamed vegetable like broccoli or asparagus, or roasted brussel sprouts. Last night I just served a mixed green salad, with spinach and lettuces, craisins, sunflower nuts, shredded cheese, and a little dressing. You get the idea.
Dr. Oz is a big believer in eating salmon. The omegas are great for us!
Sorry, no photo today...just the recipe.
