Fast & Easy Salmon Recipes

<h1>Fast & Easy Salmon Recipes</h1>Author: <a title="Mary Schulte" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mary-schulte/221838.htm">Mary Schulte</a> Salmon has become very popular now because of the abundance of information out there about the importance of Omega 3 fatty acids – good fats – in our diets, to combat disease and ensure healthy brain structure and function. (Especially important if you’re – er – getting up there in years). Salmon is the ideal food, high in those Omega 3’s, as well as vitamins, minerals and great protein. Plus, it’s got a rich, delicious flavor. Many people who aren’t fish fans do like salmon. So here's a sample of one of our super-quick salmon recipes. They really do the trick – for both yumminess and nutrition. Not to mention easy. <h3>Easy Salmon Patties</h3> These patties are pan fried, and are very easy. I use olive oil as much as possible – it has lots of nutrients as well. Much better than standard vegetable oil. You need: One 7.5 oz. can of wild Alaskan sockeye salmon (Or again, you can use leftover fresh salmon) 3 Tbsp of milk ¼ cup of bread crumbs One egg, beaten 2 Tbsp of olive oil Optional ring of red pepper Optional slice of red onion Salt and pepper to taste A little mayo is optional, to taste Romaine lettuce leaf Slice of low-fat cheese Heat olive oil in a fry pan. Remove any bones, and flake the salmon into a bowl with a fork. Add milk, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt and pepper (other seasonings that you like can be added too). Form into patties and fry on both sides in the olive oil until brown. You can also cook the slice of red pepper and onion until tender (or serve raw if you prefer). When almost done, add the slice of cheese and let it melt. Top the patties with the red pepper, onion, and leaf of romaine lettuce. You can either serve as is, or on a whole-grain bun. If you don't use mayo, they'll keep longer, which is ideal for picnics.

Easy Salmon Patties

These patties are pan fried, and are very easy. I use olive oil as much as possible – it has lots of nutrients as well. Much better than standard vegetable oil.

You need:

One 7.5 oz. can of wild Alaskan sockeye salmon

(Or again, you can use leftover fresh salmon)

3 Tbsp of milk

¼ cup of bread crumbs

One egg, beaten

2 Tbsp of olive oil

Optional ring of red pepper

Optional slice of red onion

Salt and pepper to taste

A little mayo is optional, to taste

Romaine lettuce leaf

Slice of low-fat cheese

Heat olive oil in a fry pan. Remove any bones, and flake the salmon into a bowl with a fork. Add milk, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt and pepper (other seasonings that you like can be added too). Form into patties and fry on both sides in the olive oil until brown. You can also cook the slice of red pepper and onion until tender (or serve raw if you prefer). When almost done, add the slice of cheese and let it melt. Top the patties with the red pepper, onion, and leaf of romaine lettuce. You can either serve as is, or on a whole-grain bun.
