Salmon Patties

Step 1

If using fresh salmon, brush with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill for about 6 minutes or bake wrapped in foil at 350 degrees F for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 2

Use a fork to gently break apart the salmon, leaving some small chunks.

Step 3

Add the onion, pepper, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, parsley and lemon zest; gently toss.

Step 4

Slice lemon into wedges and reserve.

Step 5

Add the cracker crumbs, egg and water, only as needed to moisten. Shape into 4 to 6 patties.

Step 6

Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat oil and carefully add the patties, cooking until browned; use a fish turner or wide spatula to carefully turn and brown the other side.

Step 7

Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with a squeeze of the reserved fresh lemon.
