Salmon Patties

  • 14 or 15 oz can salmon, undrained

  • 25 saltine crackers, (coarsely crumbled; about 1 cup)
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry minced onion or 2 tablespoons of fresh minced onion
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter for frying

First open salmon.  Pour the salmon and it's juice into a bowl and mash it up with a fork.  It will have some soft bones in it, mash them up too, they add extra calcium to this dish.  Next crumble the crackers into the salmon.  Try to break them up pretty small, but don't sweat it if they come out sort of chunky.  Add the eggs, dry milk powder, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, onion and pepper.  Use your fork to mix and mash everything together.  Let it sit for a few minutes so the crackers can soak up the milk.  Meanwhile heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt 1-tablespoon of margarine into the skillet.  Shape the salmon mixture into 10 medium patties.  Cook 5 patties patties at a time.  Use 1-tablespoon of margarine for each batch.  When the patties are crispy brown turn them to brown the remaining side.  Continue until all the patties are cooked.  Serve with buttermilk coleslaw, steamed spinach and orange gelatin.

Makes 5 servings, 2 salmon patties each.
