Dijon Mustard Salmon Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/3 salmon, fresh, de-boned, skinless
4 -6 shallots, chopped
1/4 cup chives, chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
paprika
salt
pepper
olive oil (for frying)

Preparation

Dice the salmon either by hand or in a food processor. DON'T make it into a paste!
Add all the other ingredients, saving the oil for cooking. Mix gently.
Refrigerate a few hours, so they hold their form.
Divide into 4 patties, not too thick so they cook properly.
Using a little olive oil, cook over medium to high heat, about 3 minutes each side.
Serve with a nice pasta salad and enjoy!
VARIATIONS:
We sometimes make this more in the form of burgers, and simply put it on a bun, topped with a thin slice of red onion, lettuce, tomato and a little mix of Dijon mustard and low fat mayo.
