Salmon Patties

Ingredients

• 2 pounds peeled and sliced potatoes
• 1 cup cooked salmon, flaked and boned
• 1/2 cup haddock, cooked, flaked and boned (or use 1 1/2 cups salmon)
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 green onion, green part only, chopped
• 1/2 cup corn kernels (optional)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
• 1 egg
• lemon wedges
• fat for deep frying
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs

Method

Tips and Suggestions:

• The chilling isn’t absolutely essential but it does help the patty keep it’s shape while breading and cooking.
• The potatoes can be mashed with a regular masher but using a ricer or pressing them through a strainer works best. That way you ensure you have no lumps in your potatoes.
• You can certainly use all salmon instead of mixing with the haddock.
• Use canned salmon if you prefer.
• To shape the fish into cakes you can also flour a board and use a 2 inch cookie cutter to cut them.
• Add some corn kernels for added nutrition and color.
• The recipe mentions deep frying. You don’t need to use a deep fryer. Just put a fair amount of oil into a frying pan.

Kids will probably love this salmon patty recipe.

Even if they don’t usually like salmon, mixing it with the potatoes makes it much more interesting and palatable for them.

Salmon patties are a great way to use up leftover salmon. Sometimes you just can’t look at a salmon topped salad the next day. This recipe is perfect when you want something quick and a bit different.
