Simple Salmon Cakes Made with Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 2 (6 ounce) cans boneless, skinless salmon, drained
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion, or more to taste
• 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons canola oil, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Mix salmon, egg, and chopped onion in a bowl with your hand; add oats incrementally, mixing until the mixture holds together and it not overly moist. Shape the mixture into 4 patties.

Heat oil and butter together in a skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot. Fry patties in oil mixture until browned and heated through, about 7 minutes per side.
