Starting with Aldi's canned wild alaskan salmon, we added green peppers, onions, a couple of eggs, and some of the mayo mixture that I threw together for the empanadas. I also had some extra croutons that I mashed up and mixed it into the salmon, which in addition to the added crunch bring their own spice blend to the mix. I have yet to cook the patties in such a way so as to rid them of the interior mushiness, but with the right amount of heat and olive oil, it's definitely possible to get a nice crunchy exterior that gives the patty some structure. We added sliced tomato on top and then some chipotle mustard and more mayo on the bun. Along with a salad, just one of these is the perfect portion for dinner (we made four patties from our mixture). Salmon always leaves me satisfied for hours after.
Very resourceful! And there's no end to the flavor possibilities. I'm thinking lemon & dill, some tarragon maybe. I have both herbs in my yard if you want to swing over and get some when you're in the 'hood.

Yum! Are you doing the Wild Caught salmon that's $4.49/lb? I pretty much live on that :)
ReplyDeleteThey have a value pack that's only $4 a pound, but it has skin on one side, which actually isn't bad if you broil it skin-side up.
