20 BEST Canned Salmon Uses
This collection of easy Canned Salmon Recipes includes plenty of budget friendly meals for you to enjoy with your family. We love these easy patties:
Ingredients:
- 1 15oz can salmon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green onion
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 2 Tbsp capers
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil, divided
- 1 Tbsp butter
Instruction:
- Open the can of salmon and drain off the liquid. Remove skin and bones from salmon (if not using boneless skinless) and place meat in a mixing bowl.
- First, chop bell pepper, green onion and parsley. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add chopped pepper and sauté until softened but still firm. Add capers and cook one additional minute. Meanwhile, crush crackers.
- Add all ingredients to bowl, minus the butter and remaining oil. Mix thoroughly but gently. You want to leave the salmon flakes somewhat intact, so don’t mash it too much.
- Form mixture into eight evenly sized patties (these will take about 1/3 cup of mixture each), and place on parchment paper lined tray. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Heat butter and remaining oil in skillet over medium heat and remove patties from refrigerator. Once skillet is hot, add patties. As they are a little fragile prior to cooking, you may find them easier to handle using two spatulas. You don’t want them too crowded, so unless it is a large pan, cook four at a time. Cook 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove to paper towel lined plate to absorb extra oil. Serve hot.
