Salmon Patties

Nice change from beef or pork, and good for a busy day. I usually serve mine with fried potatoes and peas, but I have also served them in a bun as a sandwich.

• Ready In: 27 mins
• Serves: 2-4
• Yields: 4 patties

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can salmon
• 1  egg
• 10 -14  saltine crackers, crushed (not too fine)
• 1⁄8 cup milk
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1  tablespoon butter or 1  tablespoon margarine

Directions

1. Drain salmon and remove skin and bones.
2. Add egg, cracker crumbs, milk, salt and pepper to salmon and mix well.
3. Press salmon mixture into 4 equal patties. (I find the firmer the better. A hamburger press works very good for this.).
4. Heat oil in a fry pan over meduim heat. When oil has been heated add butter and let it melt.
5. When butter has melted add patties to the pan and fry 5 to 7 minutes per side.
