Frugal Southern Salmon Cakes



Here's the recipe for Salmon Cakes to feed a family of 5-6

2 - 14oz. Cans of salmon
1 onion - chopped
1/2 tsp. dill
2 eggs
2 handfuls of bread crumbs (sorry this is how I measure, I have small hands if that helps!)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tsp. paprika
1 tbsp. vegetable oil

Empty the salmon into the bowl. Carefully pick out bones, don't worry about getting all the bones out they are pretty soft and edible. I mostly just get the round spine bones out and whatever other ones I can get. Lightly flake the salmon with a fork. Add the onion, eggs, bread crumbs and dill. Mix together until well blended, but don't over mix. In a separate plate mix the cornmeal and paprika. In a skillet heat the oil over medium high heat.
Shape the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and coat with the cornmeal mixture. Fry the patties on each side until golden brown and drain on paper
towels.

These are a tasty frugal dinner that the kids love. I usually try to make this homemade tartar sauce http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Tartar-Sauce-I/Detail.aspx from allrecipes.com

Serve with pasta and salad for a complete meal! Enjoy!
