 Salmon Patties

 

Here is a dish from my childhood that I still make and enjoy

Ingredients:

6 oz canned salmon

2 plain matzohs

1 egg

 

Directions:

 

combine the salmon, matzohs, and egg - 

• In a small bowl (Quart sized) put the entire contents of the can of salmon, liquid and all (remove any large bones, pieces of skin. 

• Separately, crush the 2 matzohs to a coarse powder. You can use a mortar& pestle, or your fingers, but I like to use a "bullet" blender. then add to bowl.

• It would probably be better to beat the egg first, but I don't bother. add egg to bowl.

 

Stir with a fork until well mixed. With wet hands, form into patties about 2" in diameter, and about a half inch thick.

 

fry in peanut oil for about 2 minutes on each side. Move to a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

 

My Bubbie (Bathsheba Oster, Edward Oster’s mother) used to serve these with sugar or a little jam on top (I remember strawberry.) When I make them for Kitt and me, I use a little table sugar.

Putting something sweet on a fish cake is optional, but something my grandmother did for me so it always reminds me of good times with her. She grew up in Ukraine, before the revolution, so I always figured it was both an old world thing and a thing that she did to please children.
