Made with canned salmon, these patties are good hot or cold. I usually serve them on buns with slices of ripe tomato, sweet red onion, and red and green bell pepper. —Barbara Coston of Little Rock, Arkansas

Ingredients

2 slices whole wheat bread
12 miniature pretzels
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons salt-free spicy seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 can (14-3/4 ounces) salmon, drained, bones and skin removed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeno pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Place the first five ingredients in a blender or food processor; cover and process until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, salmon, onion, green pepper, jalapeno, garlic and 1/2 cup crumb mixture. Shape into eight 1/2-in.-thick patties. Coat with remaining crumb mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook patties in oil until golden brown, 4-5 minutes on each side.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

I love tuna patties and these salmon patties are a nice variation. They were not dry but had a nice crunchy exterior. My husband loved them, and even my 15-month old chowed down!
