me.\u00a0 A little potent.\u00a0 Once I left and was on my own for meals I forgot about them.<\/p>\n<p>And then I picked them back up again.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure how it happened.\u00a0 If I was watching a cooking show maybe and saw someone make something simliar or what, but my interest was renewed.\u00a0 I realized I didn&#8217;t have to make them the way my mom had, I could make them however I wanted and jazz them up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it is really interesting to see the differences in the types of foods Scott and I each grew up with.\u00a0 He did not have salmon patties as a staple growing up or even had them before I started making them.\u00a0 This was something totally new for him.\u00a0 He loves fish, so I was sure he was going to like it.\u00a0 Over the years I have come up with a standard salmon patty recipe that isn&#8217;t overly fishy tasting and results in a light flavor not leaving you weighted down.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andrea&#8217;s Salmon Patties<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-6oz pouch skinless, boneless salmon<\/li>\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n<li>1 TBSP of dijon mustard or a grainy mustard of your choice<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 of a medium yellow onion, chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 TBSP of prepared horseradish<\/li>\n<li>2 C of fresh chopped spinach<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 C of a combo of grated parm and asiago (shredded is also fine)<\/li>\n<li>1\/4C of cornmeal<\/li>\n<li>1\/4C of breadcrumbs<\/li>\n<li>2 TBSP of butter + 1\/2 TBSP of olive oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a large mixing bowl, combine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salmon<\/li>\n<li>Spinach<\/li>\n<li>Egg<\/li>\n<li>Mustard<\/li>\n<li>Onion<\/li>\n<li>Horseradish<\/li>\n<li>Cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix until everything is in corporated.\u00a0 Then add in the cornmeal and breadcrumbs and mix again (all by hand).\u00a0 In a medium sized skillet (if you have cast iron, that would be preferable), heat the butter and 1\/2 TBSP of olive oil over medium heat.\u00a0 While that is heating, form the salmon mixture into four equal size patties.\u00a0 These are going to be medium sized.\u00a0 Place each patty in the skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, till crispy.\u00a0 Mostly wanting the outside to be crispy and the egg on the inside to firm up a bit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_3840\"

this current economic phase that the US is in, these make for a great cheap meal.\u00a0 Salmon typically isn&#8217;t too expensive and you can always used canned instead, just remember to drain it first.\u00a0 And frozen spinach (again, be sure to drain it well) can be used in place of fresh.<\/p>\n<p>What I also like about these salmon patties is that they are really a blank slate waiting for anything to be added to them.\u00a0 Shredded carrots maybe?\u00a0 Some buffalo sauce instead of the mustard.\u00a0 Some black beans or mashed chickpeas?\u00a0 It&#8217;s all up to you what you want to do with them.\u00a0 Just remember, if you add something to the mix that has more liquid, then you&#8217;ll need to probably add more breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n<p>And feel free to reduce the butter amount if you want or omit it entirely and use olive oil.\u00a0 It&#8217;s up to you!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3841\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img
