Salmon Patties



COUNTING YOUR PENNIES  Salmon Patties

  • 15 oz can of salmon, undrained
  • 1 cup crumbled stale bread or crackers
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • bacon grease, oil or margarine for frying


Open up the salmon and pour it into a medium size bowl. Add 1 cup of crumbled bread. About 3 or 4 slices should be enough. The bread doesn't have to be dry. I usually use the heels from day old bread. Add the pepper and salt. Use  hands or a fork to mix everything together until it is pretty well mixed. Mash any small bones with your fingers .   good for ya.



Heat about 4 tablespoons of fat in a skillet. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the salmon mixture into the hot fat. Use the back of the spoon to flatten the patties slightly. Fry until crispy brown on the underside. Carefully flip the patties and brown the remaining side. Move the cooked patties to a plate and continue with another batch, until all are cooked. Makes 8 or 10 small patties or about 4 servings. Double the recipe to serve a family of 6.




These are the most basic salmon patties you can make. If you have a lot of eggs you can add one to this recipe. The egg will make the patties a bit firmer, but will not affect the flavor. They are delicious either way.



Making this way they are soft, turn carefully

*or you can make 4 larger size patties four sandwiches

fry them on a med low heat
