Penzey'S Salmon Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (14 3/4 ounce) can salmon
1 egg
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 -3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Combine the salmon, egg, onion, bell pepper, Tabasco and parsley. If using canned salmon, carefully remove and discard the skin and any bones. Mix well. Add enough flour to the mixture to hold the patties together. Leftover salmon is usually drier than canned, so start with 2 TB of the flour and add the third TB if needed. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and add to the pan, flattening into patties with a spatula. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
