Salmon Cakes

This recipe is from the Mount Joy Mennonite Cookbook and you know we Mennonites know how to cook! No doubt this recipe is no different. I love the quickness and the crispiness of frying these little buggers in oil but baking them would work out better for our health! I never cared for straight salmon although it was pretty good when it was from a great restaurant and so fresh. These cakes were also a great solution for trying to squeeze in more fish without the kiddos noticing.

Salmon Cakes (aka Salmon Croquettes) 

2c. Salmon (to save some $ just buy the salmon in little packs. In the tuna isle)

1 egg

1/4c. milk

1 1/2c. saltines, crushed

1/2c. bread crumbs

2 eggs beaten

additional crumbs

vegetable oil

Flake salmon. Add egg and milk and mix together. Add saltines and bread crumbs, then form into patties. Dip into beaten eggs and bread crumbs. Fry in oil a few minutes on each side or bake.

I found this recipe to be super quick and it was easy to have the ingredients on hand. Pair with a fresh salad and side of rice, voila! Enjoy!
