Crabmeat Or Salmon Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Finely crumble crackers into a bowl; you should have 1 cup of coarse meal. Flake crab meat or salmon into bowl with crumbs, breaking up any skin and bones if using the salmon (or remove them if you prefer). Add Worcestershire, hot sauce, parsley, mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix until blended. Add egg and blend well.
• Shape mixture into 8 patties. Lay them on waxed paper or parchment near the frying pan. In a frying pan (I prefer cast iron), melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Cook 4 patties until browned, about 3 minutes. Add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter, turn and brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining butter and patties. You can keep the first batch warm in the oven.
• To plate, sprinkle patties with chopped parsley; serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Drain and reserve liquid from salmon. Mix egg, onion, bread crumbs and salmon together.

Steps:

• Mix salmon, onion, and egg together in a bowl; stir in flour.

In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and pepper, to taste. Coat the patties in the bread crumb topping.

Shape into 6 large patties, 12 small ones or 24 small ovals. Arrange on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours.
