Salmon Rush-deez patties into your mouth (title by Dustin)

These take about 15 minutes and can easily be adapted to whatever is in the fridge or pantry. It would be excellent served hot on a bed of fresh spinach, drizzled with a dill-lemon vinaigrette (which I will be doing next time for sure!) or more simply with a slice of lemon wedge and roasted asparagus.

Greek Inspired Salmon Patties
by me

2 cans (7.5 oz) red salmon (I used Trader Joe's brand which was really good)
1 scallion, white and green parts chopped
1 egg
2-3 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
1/ 4 cup breadcrumbs (gluten free in my case)
1-2 tsp Old Bay
salt and pepper
butter and olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. In large bowl, use fork to flake salmon and remove any large bones and skin. Add in scallion, egg, bread crumbs, feta and seasoning. Mix until combine and will hold together easily.
3. Heat a non stick oven-safe skillet with oil and butter (use both to bring up the smoking point) on medium heat. Make 4 or 5 patties with your hands and put into the hot skillet.
4. Cook until nicely browned on one side for about 3-4 minutes. Gently flip over to other side. (Be careful--they break apart easily!!). Put into oven for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
