Ingredients
- 1 large can salmon drained
- 1/4 cup onion finely minced
- 8 saltine crackers crumbled
- 1 egg
- 1 heaping tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely diced fresh parsley (optional)
- Yellow cornmeal
Directions
-
TIP: The bones and skin are FULL of calcium and will break apart as you mix. Leave them in the mixture.
-
Mix all ingredients together except for the cornmeal.
-
Form into patties. They will be messy and you think might not stick together…but they will, handle gently.
-
Roll into cornmeal.
-
Fry in a skillet until golden. I use a cast iron skillet. Put just enough oil to come about half way up the sides of the patty.
-
Serve with Tarter Sauce, recipe also in this book.
