Speedy Salmon Patties

Irish Fun, Food & Crafts, p. 28

1 can (12 ounces) pink salmon, undrained

¼ cup minced green onions

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1 clove garlic, minced

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ cups vegetable oil

Drain salmon well, reserving 2 tablespoons liquid. Place salmon in medium bowl; brake apart with fork. Add reserved liquid, green onions, egg, dill, and garlic; mix well.

Dried dill works in a pinch.

Combine flour and baking powder in small bowl; add to salmon mixture. Stir until well blended. Shape mixture into 6 patties.

Heat oil in large skillet to 350F. Add salmon patties; cook until golden brown on both sides.

So festive!

Remove from oil; drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Served with tortilla chips, because do what you can with what you have.

My Rating: 4/5 "The texture of these was great - nice and crisp on the outside and comforting in the middle. The flavor was fun as well. My only qualm was that while I couldn't feel the bones from the canned salmon in my first serving they got harder and annoying in the leftovers. So... gobble it all up, I guess!"
