Jodies Salmon Patties Food

WHY SOUTHERNERS LOVE THE SIMPLICITY OF CLASSIC SALMON PATTIES

Steps:

• Stir together the salmon, cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Old Bay (if using), and pepper in a medium-size bowl. Let stand a couple of minutes, and then stir until the mixture comes together and holds its shape on a spoon.
• Divide the mixture into 8 patties that are about ½-inch thick.
• Warm the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter bubbles, add the patties in a single layer, spacing them evenly. (Work in batches if need be, and add more fat to the pan as needed.) Cook until the patties are nicely browned and sizzling, flipping once, about 3 minutes per side. Serve warm, although refrigerated leftovers are good, too.

JIM'S SALMON PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix both amounts of salmon, crushed crackers, eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and dry mustard together in a bowl. Chill in refrigerator to allow flavors to combine, 30 minutes. Form mixture into 6 patties.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry the salmon patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
