Easy Salmon Cakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh dill weed
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, place 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs. Set aside remaining 1/2 cup. Add eggs, parsley, green onions, dill weed, lemon juice and black pepper. Mix well.

Add salmon and mix with hands, breaking up salmon into small pieces. Form into 8 patties; each about 1/2 inch thick.

Place remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs on a plate and dip both sides of the salmon cakes into crumbs.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Fry salmon cakes over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Turn, adding more butter if necessary, and fry about 3 minutes on other side.
