Healthy Baked Salmon Patties Recipe

Fish anyone??? My love for salmon patties or as my grandmother would call them salmon croquettes, go way back. My mom would cook them all the time in a pan filled with oil plenty of onion, eggs, and crackers- served with butterd white rice and creamed corn... baby life was sweet back then!

Today however I still want to enjoy that home cooking mama use to make but in a healthier way because that just feels right, to me. So I want to share my healthy spin on what I think is an old time classic, giving you a healthy option with baked salmon patties that are moist and most importantly flavorful...

Ingredients

2-3 cans of salmon cleaned and drained

Onion diced

Red and yellow bell peppers diced

3 eggs or 6 egg whites

1 pk. Whole wheat crackers

Cooking spray or olive oil 

Salt

Lemon pepper seasoning (optional)

Lemon (optional)

Directions

1. In a skillet saute your vegetables.

 2. Next in a large bowl combine the salmon that has been cleaned, with the peppers and onion. Season to taste using lemon pepper seasoning and salt, with about 3-4 teaspoons of lemon juice. Then add eggs. Mix well.

3. Using the cooking spry or olive nicely coat a cookie sheet.

4. On a plate or bag crumble the crackers. Then take a handful of salmon mixture (you can make them as big or as small as you want that's up to you) and create your patty. Next coat the patty with the cracker crumbs and place them on the cookie sheet.

5. Bake 15-20 minutes in the oven on 350. Adjust cooking time to fit your oven. TIP: Be sure not to over cook, this will make the patties very dry and we don't that ;)

So that's it! This is a great dinner choice and if there's leftovers which there wasn't in my house, lol, you can take it for lunch the next day. The whole point here is to find foods you like, that taste good and that you can feel good about eating. Let me know how you liked it!
