Recipe: My Spicy Salmon Patties Are Quick, Different and Tasty!

My Spicy Salmon Patties have a unique, special flavor!

Salmon is a fish that we really enjoy at our house whether as steaks or in a can for casseroles, loaves to patties.  It is just one of those fish that you can do so much with when it comes to figuring out a healthy, reasonably priced dish to serve.

A unique combination of spices from ginger, garlic powder, turmeric to a tad of dill together with crushed saltine crackers gives my Spicy Salmon Patties that remarkable, different taste and texture from what you may expect if you used breadcrumbs or flour.

Recipe: Try My Favorite Tuna (or Salmon) Patties for a No Work Dinner

I make this recipe all the time.  It is a family favorite.

These patties are everything I'm nuts about.  They are delicious, nutritious and really easy to make.  Besides, they puff up nicely and are perfect for days when you forgot to take something out of the freezer and need something fast to make for dinner. 

However, I will be honest.  Making salmon patties involves a bit more work.  You need to get in there and remove that skin that comes with all canned salmon.  I also try to get some bones out, but they are supposed to be good to eat for added calcium.   Somehow, the thought of munching and chewing even tiny fish bones never caught on with me.

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
