The Quest for Healthier Eating

8.26.09

A new recipe (which needs tweaking!)

I tried a healthy version of salmon patties using a 15-oz. can of salmon, 1 slice of wheat bread crumbed, 1 egg, some scallion, some banana pepper, some garlic, some fresh herbs, some lemon/pepper seasoning, some cayenne, some turmeric, and some paprika.

I tried using a fork to keep the mixture loose as I combined the ingredients. For each croquette I packed a l/3-cup measure, tapped that mixture into a hot pan of EVOO (aka Rachel), and waited until the croquettes were browned before turning them.

HOWEVER, the next time I try this, I will use two slices of bread and two eggs because the mixture was crumbly and dry. It also stuck to the pan even though the pan and oil were hot. I would also form the patties by hand, compacting them a bit more in an attempt to make them hold their shape better.
