I have just recently learned that what I have called Salmon Patties my entire life are also refered to as Salmon Croquettes. Either way they are fast, easy, and tasty! Salmon Patties, or Croquettes are also very low carb but still have the crunchy texture so many low carb dieters miss! So here we go!
Ingredients:
1 can of Salmon
3 green onions
1 egg
1 tbsp. oil
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. First you have to get the salmon out of the can and remove the backbone. Warning: If you have a weak stomach....well, you can do it but this is pretty gross. You will notice that there are also very very tiny little bones that are all over the place. You can take some out if they happen to come off easily but its not necessary. The little bones are edible and actually very nutricious.
2. Put the salmon in a large mixing bowl. Dice the green onions up (three whole) and toss on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and the mash up with your hands.
3. Scramble one egg in a bowl and then pour on top. Mash again making sure that the egg gets in all of the mixture to hold it together.
4. Create patties. I usually make 4 from one can. Make them just like you would a hamburger!

5. Warm up the oil in a skillet...I usually keep it on Medium. You don't want your oil to get too hot! Once hot, place the patties in the oil and fry them! I've actually never timed the frying...but you will notice the patty turning a golden brown. At this point flip it over and finish it up! Both sides should be a golden brown.
6. Enjoy! I like to top them with ketchup and have a salad/veggie combo with them.
