Ingredients
  

  • 1 14.75 ounce can salmon, drained and broken up
  • 1 slice of bread ripped apart into small pieces, crumbled
  • ½ small sweet onion minced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • about ¼ of a bell pepper minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon tabasco or more
  • Kosher salt & ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese.
  • non stick cooking spray preferably olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, gently mix together the salmon, bread, onion, garlic, bell pepper, egg, egg white, dill, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco and a pinch of salt and pepper. I used the scoop technique. Scooping my hand under the tossing in the bowl rather then a meatball squishing method. Know what I mean?

  • In another small bowl mix the flour and parmesan cheese with a bit of salt and pepper.
    1 tablespoon whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Form a small patty about ½ inch think. Dust with the flour mixture and plop into skillet.
    non stick cooking spray
  • Repeat for 3 more patties and cook each about 3-4 minutes a side. They should be nicely browned. Now, I made my first too big. Go on the smaller end, they will hold together better and you want to get 8 total, for 2 a serving.
  • Once the first batch is done remove any bits from the pan and re-spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Eat straight up with your favorite veggie as a side OR put it on a whole wheat bun for a salmon cake sandwich. I used a whole wheat potato roll, a bed of baby spinach and (don't laugh) a squirt of ketchup.
