Fried Salmon Patties
My mom loved salmon patties (also known as a salmon cake recipe) and as a matter of fact, I remember her cooking them quite a bit as a kid. She’d whip them up lickety-split and have them on the table ready to go in no time.
My husband requested Southern Salmon Patties the other night and I got a can of pink salmon from Aldi’s grocery store and got to work.
You can find canned salmon at just about any grocery store and it was very inexpensive at Aldi’s.
With the exception of the canned salmon, I had all of the ingredients here at the house, which helped make it a very inexpensive main dish.
Furthermore, I didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen, so I made this recipe as easy as possible.
