Salmon Potato Patties Recipe

Name: Salmon Potato Patties
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 14 3/4 ounces canned red salmon; 1 1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes (no gravy,pls); 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp., divided; 1/4 cup matzo meal (can use cracker meal); 1 egg, slightly beaten; 1/2 yellow onion, finely grated (optional); 1/4 teaspoon white pepper; 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use salt substitute); 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (fresh is important); 2 tablespoons light vegetable oil

Servings: persons

1
Drain and remove skin from salmon, leave bones.
2
Mix everything but the oils and 1 tbsp butter together. Let rest in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3
Make all the patties and place them on a plate. If they feel a bit too soft to you from the handling, place back in refrigerator for awhile. Don't make more than recipe calls for or they will be dry on the inside.
4
Keep them about the size of your palm -- they will be fat -- press down but don't mash flat.
5
Spray large frying pan with Pam. Heat over medium-high. Add 1/2 tbls butter and one tbsp oil to coat pan nicely. Swirl butter around.
6
Fry four patties at a time til golden brown on both sides.
7
Add rest of butter and 1 tbsp oil. Repeat.
8
These are good either hot or cold.
