Recipe for "salmon-patties"

NAME

     SALMON-PATTIES - Salmon burgers for snack or main course
     This is a very nice finger food-great for lunch on  a  hike.
     Or they can be served hot as a main course.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

     500 g     canned salmon, (either pink or red)
     pinch     salt
     1         small onion, diced
     30 g      bread crumbs, plain or spiced
     2         eggs
     5 ml      lemon juice

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
          (2)  Form into patties about 1 - 1.5 cm thick and 5 - 8
               cm diameter.  This should make about 8 patties
          (3)  Fry in oil or butter until brown  and  crispy,  or
               else  bake  in  a  well-greased  pan at 200 deg. C
               until brown (about 15 minutes).

NOTES

     I usually make a double batch.
     These are great either hot or cold.  If you take them out of
     the  freezer  in  the morning and put them in your backpack,
     they'll be just right by lunchtime.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy, especially if  you  like  squishing  stuff
     with  your  hands.   Time: 5 minutes preparation, 15 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: no need to measure.
