It’s Wednesday and you all know what that means it’s time for a hump day treat recipe. One of my favorite childhood memories of my Grandparent’s is how my Grandma would always make us lunch whenever my brother and I went over to my Grandparent’s apartment. Now since my grandparents kept kosher inside their home there was certain things that we weren’t allowed to eat while we were there because of it. She figured out quickly something that was easy to make for her and something that all the grandchildren would eat. Mac n Cheese with Salmon Patties! They were really salmon burgers but she liked calling them patties for us. So now she would make us the standard kraft macaroni and cheese from the box which we all know is a classic. Today I personally love to make the Cracker Barrel white cheddar mac n cheese. If you haven’t tried it already you need to do it right away! Now for the salmon burgers here is what you will need if you are cooking for yourself:
Ingredients:
1 can of pink boneless skinless salmon
Bread crumbs (I use the Italian ones)
2 eggs
Vegetable oil
Plastic gloves
Directions:
1.Put on the plastic gloves. Open the can of salmon and drain out the liquid. In a mixing bowl place the salmon that you have removed and drained from the can. Using your hands that have gloves on them mix it so it’s in small pieces.
2.Crack two eggs over the salmon. Now mix it all together with your hands so that the egg is all mixed in with the salmon.
3.After you have mixed the egg in pour a little bit of Italian bread crumbs in the bowl. My brother Ira always says more bread crumbs, but you don’t want it to be too much so that the patties are now dry. I always say add a ¼ of a cup at a time. When the salmon has a good consistency where it’s still a little sticky enough to make burgers then you have added enough.
4.In a frying pan heat up the vegetable oil. Once it is heated up place the salmon burgers in the pan. Once you see that the patties are getting brown on one side flip them over so the other side gets golden. Do that about 4 times so each side cooks 3 times on each side.
Hope you all enjoys today’s recipe and are having a great day! <3
