Garlic Herb Salmon Patties
"These are very flavorful, and are equally good with a comparable amount of cooked shrimp or canned king crab instead of the salmon. Back in the dark ages when I was in high school, my Home Economics teacher said that the salmon bones were a good source of calcium so I use them too. These patties are healthy also; no added salt and made with a healthy oil. Add mashed potatoes and English peas for a great comfort meal."
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 (14 ounce) cans pink salmon or (14 ounce) cans red salmon
- 2 medium white onions or 2 medium yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 large eggs
- 1⁄4 cup evaporated milk
- 2 lemons, juice of
- 1 cup garlic herb seasoned bread crumbs (I use Progresso)
- 1⁄2 cup canola oil
directions
- Drain the liquid from the salmon.
- Remove the skin, but keep the bones.
- Cut the onions into small chunks and place into a food processor with the minced garlic.
- Process on pulse until the onions are minced.
- (If doing by hand, grate the onions and mix with the garlic in a large mixing bowl.) Add the salmon, eggs, evaporated milk and lemon juice to the onion-garlic mixture in the food processor.
- Process until smooth.
- (If doing by hand, mash the salmon with a potato masher to as fine a texture as possible, and add along with the same ingred- ients as above to the onion-garlic mixture in the bowl, and mix well) Scrape the food processor contents into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the seasoned bread crumbs 1/3 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- You may need more or less than 1 cup of the bread crumbs de- pending on how juicy your salmon, onions or lemons are.
- You want to add enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds together well enough to form the patties.
- Form the mixture into patties 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the patties on medium heat about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
- You will have two batches of patties so you may have to add a little more oil to fry the second batch.

These were tasty. I made them as the recipe called, but I added 1 tsp dried dill. They were fast and economical. I served them with steamed cauliflower and a white sauce, and I put out fresh fruit and yogurt as well. We all thought it was a nice change of pace. Thanks for the great recipe. I will make these again.

As you can tell, I'm from Georgia---a rather tattered old Southern Belle by now,
but still feisty, I'll have you know!! I've
been married to the same DH for 35 years, and we have two sons. My sweet and lovely
stepdaughter has given us two little grand-
daughters who are the lights of our lives.
We had an antique shop for 7 years back in
the late 80's, and I think we are getting
back into the Biz next month--not a regular
shop again, but just doing some of the shows
once or twice a month. I love to read(I collect biographies),do needlepoint and cross-stitch, go antiqueing, and visit the
grandbabies. My very favorite cookbook is
"The Joy of Cooking" by Irma Rombauer. I got
it at my first bridal shower, and it's still the best for just basic good cooking.
I have tried to get rid of most of my pet
peeves in the hope that other people will
overlook my many faults if I overlook theirs--that's not to say that I don't want
to scream at people who are in the turn lane and don't watch for the turn arrow, but, hey, I have my windows rolled up and
they can't hear me, can they?? Since we are
retired, I have the month off thingie, but
if I had the $$$, I would take the train ride across Canada from Montreal to British
Columbia, visit with I hope our-soon-to-be
in-laws in Vancouver, drive down the Cali-
fornia coast to visit relatives in San Diego
then drive across the U.S. stopping to see
whatever we wanted to see.
