By KimberlyB

Ingredients

• 2 (14-3/4-ounce) cans pink or red salmon, drained, boned, and flaked
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2/3 cup instant mashed potato flakes
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the bread crumbs and butter; mix well. Shape into twelve 1/2-inch-thick round patties.
1. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish; coat each patty completely with bread crumbs.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter; cook patties in batches 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown, adding more butter as needed. Serve immediately, or make ahead and rewarm in a low oven just before serving.
