Salmon Patties

I had a couple of pouches of salmon so I decided to figure out a tasty way to use it.

The result is delicious - the salmon is creamy, very flavorful, easy for a post op at any stage to eat.

The dish is also high protein, low carb, fast, and simple too. This is a perfect meal for your entire family!

Ingredients

• One 7 ounce pouch or can of Salmon (very good quality, no skin or bones, nice product!)
• 2 tablespoons Hellman's Light mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon beaten egg - blend egg first, then measure
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion or scallion
• 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay or favorite cajun or seasoning blend
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• Mash together the salmon with the mayonnaise, egg, onion, and Old Bay.
• Using a spoon, roughly divide the mixture and form into 4 slightly flattened 'meatballs'.
• Place on a plate in the refrigerator to firm while you make your salad to complete your meal.
• Heat a nonstick skillet with olive oil over medium high heat and saute the salmon patties until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plates and serve immediately with fresh greens or bagged salad mix as a side dish.

As a tip, our delicious Remoulade sauce from this easy Shrimp Cocktail recipe will pair beautifully with these patties if you have the ingredients on hand.
