A classic recipe for old fashioned Salmon Patties (or Salmon Croquettes) pan fried until golden brown and delicious!
When you can feed a family of five on a $3 can of salmon, you are officially winning at life.
It's no hardship for me to eat salmon patties. I love them. Growing up we usually had them with rice and stewed tomato gravy.
And I like to serve mine with grits too! I like to smoosh them up in the grits and douse it all with hot sauce.
The recipe isn't rocket science and everyone makes theirs a little differently. My mom's from Maryland so I've got a little Old Bay in my blood and I use it frequently with fish. The old school way to make them is to use yellow mustard.
I imagine that's because recipes like this came from hard times and people living in hard times don't usually have fresh lemons around the house (the acid in the mustard functions the same as the lemon juice to balance the fish).
This is just a good base recipe. Feel free to jazz it up however you like!
