SALMON CAKES
1 FAMILY:

3 cans salmon

1 1/4 cups crushed ritz crackers

2 eggs beaten

1/2 red pepper finely chopped

2 Tbsp chives

2 tsp dill

1 tsp Tabasco sauce

lemon juice

oil for frying



6 FAMILIES:

18 cans salmon

7 1/2 cups crushed ritz crackers

12 eggs beaten

3 red pepper finely chopped

12 Tbsp chives

12 tsp dill

6 tsp Tabasco sauce

lemon juice

oil for frying



TO PREPARE FOR FREEZING:

In a small freezer bag combine red pepper, chives, dill, lemons juice and tabasco. Label a sleeve of Ritz crackers and 3 cans of salmon for the pantry.

TO PREPARE: On hand: 2 eggs and oil. In a medium bowl break up the canned salmon with a fork. Add about 1 cup cracker meal and work through the fish. Add the eggs, pepper, chives, dill, tabasco, and lemon juice. If the mixture is too wet add more cracker meal. Form 3-inch patties about 1 inch thick. You should have 8-10 cakes. Fry in hot oil in a single layer until golden, 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on a

paper towel-lined plate. Really great with salad greens with a lemon flavored dressing.
