Recipe: Salmon Burgers (using canned salmon)

SALMON BURGERS

3 cans (6 oz each) boneless, skinless pink salmon, undrained
1 (11 oz) can corn with peppers, drained
1 1⁄2 cups crushed saltines, divided use
1⁄2 cup finely chopped onion
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
2 tsp corn oil or canola oil, divided use
Tartar sauce (optional, for serving)

Dump the salmon in a bowl and mash. Stir in the corn, 1 cup of the cracker crumbs, the onion, the eggs, and the egg white.

Spread the remaining 1⁄2 cup crumbs on a plate.

Form the salmon into 4 burgers and press each into the crumbs on both sides.

Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers 2 at a time, 3 minutes per side, until browned, adding the remaining oil as needed.

Extra credit: Serve with tartar sauce.
