Salmon Patties - My Way

Submitted by hottiecj

"Yeah, yeah - I know, I know. Yet ANOTHER Salmon Pattie recipe. ;P But I looked all over the 'zaar and didn't see a recipe for them quite like mine so I thought I'd submit my version. My way to eat them is to just dip 'em in ketchup. My DH likes to gobble them up on hamburger buns with Miracle Whip. These are super easy and bursting with flavor. Huge hit in my house! hope u like 'em! :P"
