Speedy Salmon Patties

I was looking for a quick and easy summer meal that wouldn't heat up the kitchen, and this recipe was just what I needed.  These salmon patties came together in no time and were absolutely delicious. I topped them with a creamy remoulade sauce that when perfectly with the salmon.  This is a meal I'll be making again and again during the warmer months. 

1 can (12 or 14.75 oz) salmon*, drained

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1 egg

5 saltine crackers, crushed

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp salt (use 1/8 tsp if using Old Bay Seasoning)

1/8 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (my addition)

2 tsp butter (used to fry patties, do not mix in with salmon)

In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients; mix well.  Shape into six patties.  In a skillet, fry patties in butter over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until heated through. 

* Salmon in the 12 oz cans has already been boned and skinned.  If using a 14.75 oz can, remove the bones and skin after draining.

Makes 3 servings
