SOUTHERN FRIED SALMON PATTIES

by

Southern Fried Salmon Patties: This is fish even the kids will enjoy eating. Simple, quick, easy to make and tastes even better between two slices of bread or in a bun. Add a little mayo or whip up your own special sauce and you’ve got supper on the table in no time flat.

We didn’t eat Salmon Patties a lot when I was growing up, but I’ve always enjoyed the taste. Of course I like pretty much anything that I can slap between two slices of loaf bread. I’m totally hooked on sandwiches of about any kind, always have been.

As an adult, I’ve learned to enjoy salmon in various ways. I like it baked in the oven, fried in a skillet, or my favorite…smoked on a grill. It’s a bit pricey on the fish side of things, but something I enjoy whenever I can.

The really nice thing about these Salmon Patties is how simple and quick they are to prepare. I’m using a canned salmon and ingredients that are pretty much a staple in any kitchen. I try to keep a can or two in the kitchen cabinets all the time. You’re basically just going to mix it all up in one bowl and fry them up in the skillet. You can prepare the mixture and refrigerate it for several hours before cooking if need be. It makes a great main dish meat or a quick and easy sandwich, which ever way you want to go. So, if you’re ready….Let’s Get Cooking!
