Salmon in the New Year!

First recipe of the New Year!

I decided to make Salmon Patties from Everybody Likes Sandwiches because I've had this recipe bookmarked for a while and it was something different than I've made recently. The grocery was so packed this weekend and was out of a lot of things on my list, so I ended up leaving out a couple ingredients (noted below). But all in all a great way to kick off the New Year!

Ingredients:
- 1 can of Salmon, undrained
- 3 tbsp bread crumbs
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp flour
- 4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
[ingredients I didn't use: 1 tbsp capers, 1 tsp dried dill]

pre and post mashed ingredients

Directions:
- Combine all ingredients, mashing everything together with a fork until well blended.
- Form into balls and flatten into patties.
- Fry in olive oil until golden brown on both sides.

I got 5 patties out of the recipe, but easily could have gotten 4 or 6. The original recipe suggested serving them on a bun with some tarter sauce or on a salad. I went the salad route and made a colorful salad of spinach, red pepper, cucumber, mushrooms, celery, topped with a tbsp of Parmesan, and dressed with some balsamic vinaigrette.


The patties came out pretty good, but I think would've been better with the capers and dill. There was something missing and also a little bit of a floury taste, which those ingredients probably would've hid. But in the end it was a pretty easy, fast, and tasty dish! And I have leftovers for lunch this week! WW PointsPlus wise it came out to 3 points/patty, not a bad deal!
