By á-5765

For a lip-smacking entrée try these tasty smoked salmon cakes. Healthy too since they are baked rather than fried.

Ingredients

• 8-10 oz. smoked salmon, flaked
• 1 large stalk of celery finely diced
• 1 cup of cooked rice
• 1/3 cup chopped green onion
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 T Dijon mustard
• 1 egg
• 1/2 t lemon pepper (or 1 t lemon juice)
• olive oil (for brushing)
• bread crumbs (for coating)

Preparation

Step 1

Blend together the salmon, celery, rice, green onion, mayo, mustard, egg, and lemon pepper.

Shape into four-inch patties.

Brush one side of each patty with olive oil and lay in a bowl of breadcrumbs. Brush top side with oil and flip over and press lightly into the breadcrumbs.

Arrange patties on a flat pan. Refrigerate a few hours or overnight.

Heat oven to 400º. Bake for 10 minutes (at sea level; 12 minutes at 4000 feet or higher). Turn the patties over and cook for another 10-12 minutes.
