My Salmon Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (14 3/4 ounce) can pink salmon
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup frozen grated hash brown potatoes
1 sliced green onion
1/2 cup crushed Ritz cracker (or other buttery flavored crackers)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon oil

Preparation

Place salmon into a bowl. Gently flake, removing the bones & skin.
Toss with eggs, potatoes, onion, crackers, baking powder, lemon pepper and Tabasco.
Using your hands, form into 4 loosely packed patties & gently coat both sides & edges with cornmeal.
Add oil to frying pan & heat to medium high.
Brown patties 2-3 minutes on each side, trying to turn them only once.
**Note 1: I use the frozen hash browns for convenience only. (1) small to medium potato, peeled and grated, could be substituted for them.
*** Note 2: Sometimes I \"raise the spice bar\" & add chopped parsley or diced jalapenos or whatever else appeals to my palate at the moment of mixing.
