Ingredients

  • 4 (7 ounce) cans red salmon, well drained (soft bones removed or left in, or use half red and pink salmon)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (can use 1-1/2 teaspoons)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional but good to add in)
  • 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste, can use white salt)
  • 12 cup crushed butter flavored cracker (such as Ritz crackers, more if needed)
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • all-purpose flour (as needed)
  • oil (for frying)

Method

  • Drain the 4 cans salmon well and place in a large bowl; flake with a fork.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients except the flour and oil; mix to combine (if the mixture is very moist add in more cracker crumbs using only enough to hold together).
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 or more hours.
  • Shape into desired size patties.
  • Place about 1/2 cup flour into a shallow bowl or a plate.
  • Carefully coat each patty in the flour, then place the coated patties onto a large plate (have all the patties coated before starting to fry).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the patties about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Delicious!
