My husbands grand-mother helped to raise him through out his life. In his teen years he lived with her I met her and enjoyed spending time with her but she was very aware of what her grand-son was doing. No matter what faults I had with her I could never say I did not love her. Any time someone stopped by and needed a bit to eat she would whip something up. One recipe she shared a lot was salmon patties.
Granny was always loyal to her brands, for the salmon patties it could be nothing else but
Make your own Salmon Cakes or Patties:
2 cans salmon (approx 7 oz each)
12 saltine crackers, crushed
1 egg,
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Mix all these ingredients together. (I think I ended up using basil instead of parsley.... I don't know what I grabbed from my herb garden, but it tasted fine either way!) Coat the bottom of a pan with oil (I used olive oil) and form 7 to 8 patties. I formed round balls and then flattened them with the spatula, it works better for me this way. Brown on each side on medium high heat and you're done!
Just like Grandma used to make :)
