Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fresh onion |
| 1 | Green pepper |
| 1 | Celery |
| 1 | Tablespoon butter |
| 1 | Can of salmon |
| 1 | Teaspoon horseradish |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1-2 | Tablespoons oatmeal |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Vegetables: Begin by finely chopping the fresh onion, green pepper, and celery. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Sautรฉ the chopped vegetables until they soften, releasing their aromatic flavors.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautรฉed vegetables with the canned salmon (drained), horseradish, egg, and oatmeal. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a minced garlic clove to the mixture.
-
Form Patties: With clean hands, divide the mixture into 4 to 6 equal portions, depending on your desired patty size. Shape each portion into a round patty, ensuring they hold together firmly.
-
Fry Patties: In the same skillet used for sautรฉing the vegetables, heat a combination of oil and/or butter over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the salmon patties into the skillet. Cook each side until lightly crispy and golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve the Mom’s Salmon Patties hot, accompanied by a dollop of tartar sauce. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness.
-
Optional Tartar Sauce: For a homemade tartar sauce, combine mayonnaise with diced pickles, capers, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
