🥘 Ingredients

For the Salmon Patties:

• 1 can of salmon, drained and flaked
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2-3 onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• Fresh black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter

For the Creamed Peas:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 ½ cups milk or half-and-half
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 cups thawed and drained peas

🍽️ Servings

This recipe serves 4, with each serving consisting of 2 salmon patties topped with creamed peas.

📋 Instructions

1. Prepare the Salmon Patties:

   • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, beaten eggs, finely chopped onions, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and fresh black pepper. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
   • Shape the mixture into 8 patties, making sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.

2. Cook the Salmon Patties:

   • In a large fry pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until hot and bubbly.
   • Add the salmon patties to the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sauté each side for about 2 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. If needed, cook in batches to maintain the temperature of the pan.
   • Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and hold in a warm oven while you prepare the creamed peas.

3. Make the Creamed Peas:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
   • Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about one minute to form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.
   • Gradually whisk in the milk or half-and-half, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken.
   • Once the sauce has thickened, add the thawed and drained peas. Stir well to coat the peas in the creamy sauce and heat through.

4. Serve:

   • Plate two salmon patties per serving, and generously top with the creamed peas.
   • For the full comfort food experience, serve alongside homemade mashed potatoes.
