Preparing veggies for salmon patties

Serve these cakes with a tasty tartar sauce.The most time consuming part of this recipe is chopping all of the veggies. But, they are what add so much flavor. Small chop size is best in this recipe so there are more flecks rather than chunkier pieces. Chop the red onion to measure 3/4 cup.

If you find they do not hold together, chill before shaping. I didn’t have a problem using a 1/3 of a cup measuring cup to measure and shape.

 

Cooking the salmon patties

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.

    […]      Stack the bread slices with cheese, crisp bacon, mixed salad greens or baby spinach leaves and lots of sliced, sweet figs.   Place the sandwich, buttered side down on a griddle pan and cook over moderate heat until each side is a gorgeous golden brown. Sometimes I place a lid over the sandwich while it grills so the cheese melts without the bread getting too dark, covering just the sandwich, not the entire pan.   Is this not perfect? Serve with lightly dressed salad greens or melon slices.  You might also like… Sticky Chicken Wings   Salmon Patties […]
