You may wonder how my life as a pseudo-vegetarian is going. Well, just fine. Thanks for asking. Tonight the family attended a party at the lake and there were hamburgers and hot dogs to be had. The kids loved it. My husband and I chowed on salad and chips & salsa and fruit. And oh yeah, the delicious tilapia we brought along with us and threw on the grill. Do you think that was rude to bring our own meat of the fish variety? I hope not.
If you ever want to grill tilapia, marinate it in some olive oil, lemon juice, and some Kirkland brand Organic No-salt seasoning. Oh my, I love that stuff. Cook it to flaky perfection and then eat it on a bun with some lettuce and tomato. Wow! I swear it was better than a hamburger. But my kids disagree.
But this isn’t that recipe.
This is Salmon.
This is a dish that we also love when we feel like we need some protein. It is super fast and easy and yummy. I actually do not love Salmon but I am trying to love it. But I can say in all honesty, I love this recipe. There are no leftovers when I make this.
Salmon Patties
14 oz. canned salmon, drained
3/4 C bread crumbs or crackers
1/4 C onion, finely chopped
1/4 C red pepper, finely chopped
1 Tbl olive oil
1 egg
1 Tbl lemon juice
1/2 tsp dill weed
salt and pepper
Mix salmon and crumbs. Set aside.
Cook onion and pepper in oil until tender (about 5 minutes)
Add to salmon and mix gently
Add dill weed, egg, lemon juice, and salt and pepper and mix
Add a little more oil to frying pan. Form mixture into patties and cook about 4-5 minutes on each side
Makes about 10-12 patties
We ate the patties with quinoa and steamed zucchini, carrots, and onion. It was delicious. And I felt so healthy after eating it. In a good way.

Becca, I wasn’t rolling my eyes. I have eye spasms.

Well, I had biscuits and sausage gravy for dinner. But they were homemade, at least.
