Dinner Tonight: Salmon patties
Made using my mother's decades old method that she clipped from a
magazine before I was born. Not cracker or breadcrumbs or flour as the
binder. Crushed corn chips. My mother called them "Corn Doodle
Burgers". I think that's what the original recipe called for - a
cheaper version of Frito's.
It calls for a can of salmon, drained and flaked with a fork then placed
in a deep mixing bowl. (remove the bones if you wish) Add one large
egg, some minced onion, a Tbs. or two of sour cream (use prepared
mayonnaise if you don't have sour cream), 1 cup of crushed corn chips.
Sprinkle with some pepper. Mix it together then form into about 6
patties. Place on waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator for about
30 minutes.
(At some point Gary will chime in about the bones in canned salmon and
not liking salmon patties even without the bones. Okey doke.)
Pan fry the salmon patties in neutral oil (canola is good) until browned
on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
I like these made with the crushed corn cnips every once in a while
because they're salty, and I like salt.
