Salmon Cakes

These have always been a hit everytime we served them. Steve on C dock in St. Petersburg even offered to pay us to make them more often.

 

1 (7.75 ounces) can salmon with the juice
2 teaspoons grated onions
1 egg lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 dill
2 cups bread crumbs, (maybe a little more depending on how much liquid there is.)
flour and oil (for frying)

 

1. Mash salmon, bones and all, in a bowl with a fork.
2. Add onion, egg, salt, pepper and dill.
3. Blend well.
4. Add bread crumbs to the salmon, mixing well.
5. Add just enough crumbs to make a mixture that will hold its shape.
6. Make patties and dip each in flour or more bread crumbs to coat both sides.
7. Heat oil in a heavy skillet.
8. Add patties and fry slowly until golden on both sides.
9. Drain excess oil on paper towel and serve.

 

(note: For bread crumbs I use ‘Progresso Garlic and Herb‘. Just adds a little more flavor!)
