RECIPE # 21 - SALMON PATTIES

A Southern Classic.  The poor mans version of a crab cake.

2 14oz cans of salmon, drained, deboned and flaked

2 eggs
1/4 cup flour
2 tsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Drain canned salmon and place in bowl.  De-bone the fish if you chose.  I always do and I know some people do not.  If you have children, I think that it is a good idea.  Add two eggs and mix well.  Add 1/4 cup of flour and mix well again.  Place patties in a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 2 tsp of vegetable oil. (they can be cooked without the oil but I like the way it makes them crispy on the edges) Cook 3-5 minutes on each side, just until golden brown.
