Spicy Tex Mex Salmon Cakes

Ingredients

8oz salmon, drained and flaked
1 package mexican style corn bread mix
1 egg, beaten
1/4 onion, chopped
1/4 c red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 c cilantro, chopped
1/4 c celery, chopped
1/2 c sour cream

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly. Form into patties (8).

Heat 3 tbsp oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook patties until brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total.


This is a great variation on an old favorite.  My mom used to make "salmon patties" all of the time and it was (and probably still is) my favorite recipe. For regular salmon patties, combine salmon, egg, and a few pieces of torn up bread and form into patties. Cook as instructed.
