Fish: Salmon Patties

Drain salmon and remove bones and skin. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and finely diced onion. Saute until softened and golden (7-9 minutes) then remove from heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled flaked salmon, sautéed onions, salt and pepper, 1 Panko bread crumbs, beaten eggs, milk and mayo. Stir to combine then form into 13-14 patties. It's easy to portion patties using a flat ice cream scoop then pressing them into 1/3 to 1/2" thick patties. Form into medium patties. Heat large skillet over medium high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot enough to bubble when a bread crumb gets tossed in, add half your salmon patties. Be sure to leave enough room to have a good inch in between each patty, so you will need to cook them in two batches. Cook until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on other side. #### When I didn't have the Panko, I substitued Seasoned Texas Toast Croutons (ground) ! Delicious! #### I fried all in the electric skillet to get them all in at once.
