1 7 3/4-ounce can salmon, drained and flaked
1/4 cup bread crumbs (made in blender or food processor from 1 slice whole grain bread)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon dill weed dried or 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
Olive oil
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/3 cup green onions, finely chopped
Mustard Sauce (recipe follows)
A lady named Mercedes Cornell who worked for me used to make these, and the boys loved them and still do.
1. Combine first 6 ingredients; set aside.
2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon olive oil; place over medium heat until hot. Add celery and green onions; sauté until tender. Add to salmon mixture; mix well.
3. Coat skillet again with ½ teaspoon olive oil; place over medium-high heat until hot. For each salmon cake, spoon about ¼ cup mixture onto skillet; shape into patty with a spatula. Cook about 2 minutes or until browned on each side. Serve immediately with Mustard Sauce (recipe follows).
