Salmon Patties

I used to work for a man who talked about making salmon "croquettes" and I didn't know what he was talking about. When I finally figured it out, I realized that I really am a little more "country" that most. I never understood the need to give things fancy names, so I just call these salmon patties and serve then with mac and cheese and peas.

I start with 2 cans of salmon, cleaned up and picked through to remove the bones. Add an egg, a dash of hot sauce, 1 T horseradish, 1 T Worcestershire, salt and pepper and 3/4 to 1 c bread crumbs (my kids like these with crushed cheez-it crackers) Let this mix sit in the fridge for a while for the flavors to blend. Form into patties and cook (I have used a hot skillet and I have baked them in the oven) till well browned on both sided. If you use the oven, preheat to 350 and turn every 10 minutes or so. I serve these with ketchup or mustard, but they are also good with cheese sauce. Happy Saturday every one!
