Salmon Patties with Red Pepper and Green Onion

This is one of my most favorite things to eat in the whole world. I serve these salmon patties with creamed peas on top. My mom always served salmon patties with creamed peas (albeit a different salmon patty recipe). When I asked her why she served them that way, she said that the restaurant in one of the big department stores in downtown Lansing always served them that way.

So the combination might sound strange, but the creamed peas on the salmon patties is so good. So good that this was what Caroline picked for her second birthday dinner, if you can believe it. I serve hot buttered egg noodles with this.

This recipe is for a 6 ounce package of salmon. The first recipe I had came from a 7 ounce package and all of the sudden the recipe wasn’t working. The company cut the size of the package and I didn’t realize it. Now I buy the canned Wild Alaskan Salmon that comes in a package of six cans at Costco. I’ve also used the Chicken of the Sea pouches, but they are harder to find now.

This makes just enough for three people so if you have a bigger family, you will probably need to double it.
