Salmon Patties

LorraineZ's Note:

Salmon Patties - Quick and easy. The Cheddar cheese really makes this recipe. One of my family's favorite meals. Usually serve it with Mac and cheese.

I was disappointed with these. The cheddar is a nice touch, but the mixture was really hard to work with -- by the time I was shaping the last patty, I had a sticky mess on my hands. If I make these again, I'll try dry breadcrumbs. Also, I thought the 4 tbs. of butter for frying was way too much and not necessary.

This was sooo good! I'm not really a big fan of salmon patties, but the cheese made such a difference! I used about 2/3 cup dry breadcrumbs, and it held together nicely. I used sharp cheddar, fresh parsley (about 2 T) and just eyeballed the W and hot sauces to our taste. 5 mins on each side on about med. heat gave a perfect crisp crust. Thanks so much!
