Simple and tasty pan-fried salmon cakes for one (or two small eaters)! Just salmon, egg, onion, and a few staples. Mix it all up, shape into patties, and you are ready to go! Great with macaroni and cheese.

Ingredients

1 small onion, diced
1 (6 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
8 crackers, crushed, or more to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Mix onion, salmon, crackers, egg, butter, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl; form into 4 patties.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry patties in the hot oil until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Cook's Notes:

Adjust number of crackers for personal taste: more crackers equals less salmon taste, fewer means stronger salmon taste!

I use olive oil rather than vegetable oil.

Substitute the onion with 1 teaspoon onion powder, if desired.
