Tuna or Salmon Patties
Tired of bacon and eggs for breakfast? Bored with sliced chicken breast on salad greens for lunch? Limited budget?
Try: - Tuna (or Salmon) Patties
1 can tuna or salmon (6 - 7 oz/ 170 - 200g)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil for frying
optionals:
minced green onion (scallion), celery, bell pepper etc
fresh or dried herbs - dillweed, parsley, fennel etc
*******************************
- Mash the fish, then stir in the beaten egg and desired seasonings.
- Heat fat in skillet over medium to medium-high till bubbly. Drop the fish-egg mixture from a large spoon to make mounds ... press them flat with the back of the spoon. Use a large pancake lifter to gently turn the patties over when golden brown underneath. Brown the other side, then serve hot ... or cold.
- for the whole recipe:
Tuna patties (using water-pack light tuna): 431 cal, 31g fat, 1g carb, 34g prot.
Salmon patties (using sockeye red salmon): 622 cal, 50g fat, 1g carb, 40g prot.
** Note** .. the nutrient counts may vary depending on the type of fish used, and if seasonings are added.
These are awesome with the low carb "HomeFries / Hash Browns" recipe I posted in the Breakfast Ideas section, in the Kitchen forum ( click here ). Those are made with radishes, and so good, they taste BETTER than the potato version.
For garnishing, I like to use flavoured mayonnaise ... Add some chopped capers, olives or dill pickle, dijon mustard or prepared horseradish to a couple Tbsp mayo.
Enjoy!
