| These tasty salmon patties are very easy and quick to make! |
3 (5 ounce) pouches of boneless, skinless salmon*
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup pork panko**
1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons avocado or coconut oil
lemon wedges (optional)
tartar sauce***
Method:
Add the salmon, egg, panko, parmesan, onion, parsley, dill (or tarragon), salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Mix well to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. (You can use your hands.) Heat the oil, in a non-stick skillet, over medium low heat. Firmly form the salmon mixture into 6 equal sized patties. Fry in the preheated skillet until both sides are golden brown. Makes 6 salmon patties. If desired, serve with lemon wedges and/or tartar sauce. Makes 3 to 6 servings.

*I used Chicken Of The Sea brand pouches of salmon.
**You can use regular pork rinds and crush them, but I highly recommend purchasing a bag of "Pork Panko". (I found it online.) I tried some recipes that called for crushed pork rinds, but I gag at the smell and taste of regular pork rinds, and when crushed, I find that their consistency becomes gummy. Pork Panko has the texture of bread crumbs and can be substituted in any recipe that calls for regular panko or bread crumbs. (When stored in the refrigerator, they will remain fresh until needed.)
***Tartar Sauce
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely minced dill pickle
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced chives
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and chill. Makes about 2 cups.
