This simple recipe makes good use of canned salmon, or you can also use leftover salmon if you have some on-hand. Out of both? Try canned tuna!

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cups cracker crumbs (coarse)

  • 1 can salmon, 16 ounces (OR two 5 oz cans of tuna in water, drained)
  • 2/3 cup lowfat milk
  • 2 eggs (well beaten)
  • celery (1/2 cup chopped, optional)
  • salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Mixture will be moist.
  3. Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat skillet. Drop fish mixture onto the skillet using a 1/3 or 1/2 cup measuring cup. Brown on both sides.

Notes

*Dry bread crumbs, crushed unsweetened cereal, or uncooked oatmeal can be used instead of cracker crumbs.
