I thought I'd put together a nice quick blog post today, so I'm going to share one of my favorite recipes. It's kind of my signature meal at home and I love making it. What is it, you ask? Salmon patties. They're super super easy to make and they taste delicious. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients: 4 cans alaskan salmon (any brand)
2 eggs
1 sleeve of crackers
salt & pepper to taste
Makes 2 dozen patties, depending on size
First step: open and drain the salmon (if you own cats, put the juice in a bowl or over their food - they'll love you!) then prepare to debone
Deboning takes a lot of time, but I always make a point to do this. To be fair, if you don't debone, it won't be a huge deal. The bones get soft and kind of powdery if they cook in, so it's not like anybody's gonna choke. Still, I suggest getting your hands in there and picking out all the bones. I also remove all the bits of skin. and, yes, I said use your hands. It's the only way to be sure you've got everything out.
Second step: make sure all bones/skin have been removed from all salmon
Third step: crack eggs into bowl
Fourth step: crumble crackers in sleeve, then add the crackers to the bowl
Fifth step: Mix it in! Again, I suggest using your hands. It won't kill you, I promise. ;)
Sixth step (optional) add salt and pepper to taste
Let the mix sit in the fridge at least half an hour
While the mix is sitting, pour no more than 1/2 inch of oil in a pan and put it on the stove to heat. Once it's popping, start forming patties with the salmon and fry them up. No breading or anything is needed. This recipe is so easy and a sure hit if you're a fan of salmon. Try it out!
Life hands you challenges. We all face them in our own way. My way? A pen full of ink and sheer grit.
