Garlic Herb Salmon Patties

---

These are very flavorful, and are equally good with a comparable amount of cooked shrimp or canned king crab instead of the salmon. Back in the dark ages when i was in high school, my home economics teacher said that the salmon bones were a good source of calcium so i use them too. These patties are healthy also; no added salt and made with a healthy oil. Add mashed potatoes and english peas for a great comfort meal.

Steps

---

Drain the liquid from the salmon.

---

Remove the skin , but keep the bones.

---

Cut the onions into small chunks and place into a food processor with the minced garlic.

---

Process on pulse until the onions are minced.

---

Add the salmon , eggs , evaporated milk and lemon juice to the onion-garlic mixture in the food processor.

---

Process until smooth.

---

Scrape the food processor contents into a large mixing bowl.

---

Add the seasoned bread crumbs 1 / 3 cup at a time , mixing well after each addition.

---

You may need more or less than 1 cup of the bread crumbs de- pending on how juicy your salmon , onions or lemons are.

---

You want to add enough bread crumbs so that the mixture holds together well enough to form the patties.

---

Form the mixture into patties 1 / 2 inch thick.

---

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

---

Fry the patties on medium heat about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.

---

You will have two batches of patties so you may have to add a little more oil to fry the second ba.
