Salmon Patties

I love salmon patties. They are a fast and easy meal and are packed with nutrients. Canned salmon is the key to a great salmon patty. You want to drain off any liquid from the can. My husband prefers it when I discard most of the salmon skin, but that is a personal preference. The recipe works great with or without the salmon skin.

I add finely diced carrots and celery to to patties. It lightens the texture, adds a little color and adds some veggies which is always a win. It is important to chop them very finely. I have even used my food processor to chop them. After they are chopped, I like to cook the veggies in the microwave for 3 minutes on high. It softens them and they release a little moisture.

I prefer to cook the patties in avocado oil, but you can cook them in vegetable oil if you prefer. Either way, they are delicious and come together for a quick meal.

Notes

It is important to drain the liquid from the canned salmon. I sometimes remove the salmon skin, You can leave it in if you prefer.

Make sure the carrots and celery are chopped very finely. I sometimes use my food processor.

I crush the cracker crumbs with my hands and the sizes of pieces is varied. They do not have to be completely powdery.

Avocado oil or vegetable oil both work. I do not recommend olive oil because the smoke point is too low.
