SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon fat in a small saute pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Cool the onions for a bit.
• Mix the bacon, onion, egg, mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl. Add the salmon and potato, mixing gently after each addition. Form the mixture into 12 small patties. In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and pepper, to taste. Coat the patties in the bread crumb topping. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, and cook the salmon cakes in batches until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add more oil, as necessary. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• 1. If using boned salmon, remove the bones and skin and discard. Place salmon into a medium bowl. Flake with a fork until separated; add the egg, cracker crumbs, minced onion , dill, and parsley. Mix well.
• 2. With clean hands, shape salmon into 4-6 patties. Place on waxed paper, and dredge in flour. If they have a tendency to fall apart, add more cracker crumbs.
• 3. Heat oil in large skillet until hot. Add salmon patties and brown on both sides over medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon juice, tartar sauce, or any topping of your choice. Or maybe you prefer them plain. Enjoy!
