Ingredients
Veggie Mixture
1 cupOnions, chopped finely
1cupBell pepper, chopped finely (any color)
1/2tspSalt
1/4tspPepper
1tspItalian Seasoning
Salmon Mixture
1(14.75 oz can)Pink Salmon*you can remove bones if you prefer or just mix them in, they are soft!
Melt 1 tbsp of butter on medium heat. Add the peppers, onions, & salt. Cook for a few minutes until transparent and moisture has cooked out. Add pepper and Italian seasoning and cook a little longer until it starts to brown. Take off heat and set aside.
Shred the canned salmon in a large bowl. Add Old Bay seasoning and mix.
Add the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, eggs, mustard, garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the cooked peppers and onions after they have cooled.
Heat butter and olive oil over medium heat on stovetop.
Scoop mixture into hands and flatten. Lay them away from you in the pan.
Use a 1/3 cup scoop for larger patties or a 1/4 cup scoop for medium patties.
*If you find it falls apart, it may be easier to work with if you stick it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up your mix if needed.
Let cook on either side for 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness, I aim for a thinner patty so they cook faster) Just enough for those eggs to cook.
Place on a paper towel when you remove from the heat.
Enjoy with your favorite sauce, I topped mine with red pepper crispy flakes in chili oil. If you like spice, try a hot sauce!
