One of my goals for 2012 was to serve fish once a week. I know that eating good fish can do wonders for your health. However, have you seen the price of fish at the meat market? It is hard for me to stomach the $5/lb for grass-fed beef, let alone the $10-$15/lb for good fish. What's a mama to do?
One way that I have been able to meet my goal of serving fish once a week is by serving my family salmon patties. I buy canned seine net caught wild Alaskan pink Salmon from Aldi for about $2.50/can. One can feeds all three of us one meal plus enough for Julian and I to have leftovers the next day for lunch. This is a frugal way to still be able to eat good fish!
Salmon Patties
1 can (14.5 ounces) wild caught salmon
1 egg
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tbs. parsley
scant cayenne pepper
1/4 c. unsweetened shredded coconut (or breadcrumbs)
Butter or coconut oil
Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Melt a small amount of butter or coconut oil in a pan on the stovetop. Form the salmon mixture into patties and place in the hot pan. Cook on each side about 2-3 minutes. We like to eat ours with homemade ranch smeared on top!

I love salmon patties. The idea of coconut sounds really good. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Stacy! I had made these with breadcrumbs before my baby started eating solids, but we are keeping him off grains until his first year molars come in, so I needed a way to hold them together and be able to feed them to him. The coconut works perfectly!
DeleteI love salmon- will have to give this a try! Thanks for sharing with us at Healthy 2Day Wednesdays. Hope to see you again real soon.
