1 (15 oz.) can salmon (red or pink)
1 large egg
1 small (or half medium) onion, diced fine
1 celery stick, diced fine
2-3 tsp. lemon juice
6-8 drops Tabasco sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. dry dill weed
1/8 cup sherry
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs

Place canned salmon with liquid in a large bowl. Add next 8 ingredients and mix well to break up the salmon. Add last 2 ingredients to evenly moisten the oatmeal and breadcrumbs. Form into patties like burgers (typical yield is 8 patties).

Fry in olive oil (or any other favorite healthy oil) at medium-low temperature for 4 minutes per side. Patties should be medium golden brown with a slightly crispy crust when done. Place on a paper towel covered plate to drain and serve while still hot.

Although you could serve with tartar sauce or malt vinegar, you may find everyone enjoys them plain.

Prep time 30 minutes, cooking time 8 minutes.

Serves 4 to 6.
