Crab cake alternative, Salmon Cakes

I was craving crab cakes but to get enough crab to feel like you actually ate crab can be sometimes very expensive so a great alternative I have created

Salmon Cakes Approved By Hubby

20 oz. Salmon drained boneless skinless

2 eggs

1/3 heaping cup shredded cheddar cheese ( I know it sounds weird but it works)

¼ Tsp. Pepper

¾ cup panko bread crumbs

¼ cup bread crumbs

6 shakes of hot sauce ( any will work)

1 Tbs. Parsley

¼ of medium onion chopped

1/8 Tsp. salt

½ stick of butter + 1 tbs

2 tbs. oil

3 tbs. Flour

Cook onion with butter on medium heat until the onions are translucent and then set aside.

In one bowl mix salmon, eggs, cheese, pepper, panko, bread crumbs, hot sauce, parsley, onion, and salt. Form into patties that are about ½” thick, I made about 6 of them, but you can make them the size you want. On a plate with the flour put a light coating of flour on each. In a skillet, melt butter and oil on medium heat. Cook until golden brown on each side; while you are waiting for the rest of them to cook off make sure you put them in a low heated oven so that the ones that are done do not get cool.
