Yummy Salmon Patties With Easy Sauce

Submitted by Gina Farina

"The base of this recipe comes from an old GH cookbook. I've added other ingredients for presentation (color) and as a trick to sneak more veggies into my kids' food. I use Kirkland (Costco brand) canned salmon, but you can use any other kind you like. Chopping the ingredients into tiny pieces helps keep the patties together and helps make the vegetables less objectionable to kids. Also, you may choose to remove the bones from the salmon when you drain it, however it is a good source of calcium and my kids never notice it. This can be eaten on a bun with fresh tomato, romaine and the sauce."

We've made these patties several times now and still enjoy them as much as the first time. My sons like them best with half salmon and half crabmeat, and just a tiny bit of horseradish stirred in. These patties are moist, tender, and filling - made into 4 patties, even my kids (who are both well over 6 feet tall) are satisfied with just one for lunch. Thanks, Gina, for a cheap and delicious recipe!
