Salmon Patties

I love Salmon yet only ever had it roasted or grilled! For years I have heard about Salmon Patties but have always stopped from making them because I didn't like the idea of canned salmon (it just weirds me out!). Well my friend enlightened me that you can get fresh Salmon fillets in the freezer section (I know I know I should of known this...) so I bought a whole bag of individually frozen 4oz fillets and decided to experiment! I was quite happy with the results and will be making this again and experimenting with the ingredients for different flavor profiles.



Salmon Patties: Serves 2

8oz Salmon Fillet (skinless)
2 Garlic Cloves - Minced
1/2tsp Old Bay
1/2tsp Dried Basil
2tsp Butter
1/4C Oats
2tsp Dijon Mustard
1tsp Mayonnaise

Preheat your oven to 350°. While the oven is heating up rub the garlic, Old Bay & basil all over the salmon and place on a greased cookie sheet. Place in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flaky to the touch. Place the oats in a food processor and blend until the oats are nice and chopped up, add the salmon, mustard and mayo and pulse your processor two or three times then carefully remove the mix from the processor. Split in half and form into two patties. Place the butter in a large saute pan and heat over medium heat and melt, Place the patties down and let them cook for 4-5 minutes so it has time to make a nice crisp edge on the patty, then flip and cook another few minutes. Remove to a plate and enjoy!
