This is a great way to use leftover cooked salmon, and this recipe tastes much better than simply rewarming already cooked salmon.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound cooked salmon or steelhead.
2 tablespoons well-diced onion
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or crushed
1 beaten egg
2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
Ritz crackers
1 cup shredded coconut
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flake the salmon well and carefully remove any bones. Add onion, garlic, cheese, and egg, and mix together by hand. Crumble crackers and add to the mixture until it forms meatballs well.
Roll the meat balls in the coconut and press lightly to form flat patties on a lightly-oiled baking sheet. Bake for 6 minutes, turn over and bake another 4 to 5 minutes until gently browned. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon juice.
Makes 4 patties.
