Salmon Patties

I remember eating Salmon Patties as I was growing up.  I haven't made them as much for my family as my mom did.  I don't know why, we all like them.  They are also very easy to make and quick.    Most of the ingredients you can find in your pantry.

I start by combining two cans of salmon with some minced garlic, spices, a beaten egg, and some breadcrumbs.  Mix them all together and form into patties.  Heat some oil in a skillet and fry the patties until they are golden brown.  Flip and repeat.

The patties are ready to serve.  I usually serve mine with a veggie and some rice.  I garnish with a lemon slice.  My older son likes to treat them like a salmon burger.   To his bun he adds some tarter sauce and some lettuce.  Which way you eat them it doesn't matter, they are delicious:)
