Canned Salmon Patties

Ingredients

• •1 can (14.75 oz) canned salmon, drained
• •16 saltine crackers, finely crushed
• •1 large egg, beaten
• •1/2 tsp garlic powder
• •1/4 tsp black pepper
• •2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Open the can of salmon and drain the liquid. Transfer the salmon to a bowl. Remove any large bones and skin if desired, though the small bones are soft and edible.

2. 2

   Crush the saltine crackers into fine crumbs. You can put them in a bag and roll over them with a can, or crush them by hand.

3. 3

   Add the cracker crumbs, beaten egg, garlic powder, and pepper to the salmon. Mix with a fork until everything holds together.

4. 4

   Shape the mixture into 4 patties, about 3 inches across and half an inch thick. If the mixture is too wet, add a few more cracker crumbs. If too dry, add a tiny splash of water.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

6. 6

   Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

7. 7

   Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
