How to Make Spicy Salmon Patties

Coming up with different menus for weekly dinners can be tough, and even harder if you don't eat meat or chicken! Being a "fishaterian" (a vegetarian who eats fish)offers more options than a usual vegetarian diet, and this spicy salmon patty is a quick, inexpensive and easy meal that anyone can make. It has become a family favorite and weekly staple in my household. Try it with the sweet potato fries recipe for a delicious weekday meal!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 2 cans of flaked salmon

• 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• Bread crumbs
• Pepper
• 1 egg

Spicy Salmon Patties

Tips & Warnings

• If calories aren't a concern for you, fry patties in olive oil for a crunchier patty.
• Serve with sweet potatoes to finish off your meal.
