Pan fried salmon cakes

Curtis Ginnetti | Crumbs

This recipe is a perfect solution for the leftover fish that you have fillet or the fish that have left over trimmings. You can also find these over trimming fish at WinCo for about $1 a pound, so it makes a nice cheap, yet delicious meal that you can impress a date with. It is important while preparing fish to make sure you take all the bones out. They can provide a serious choking hazard or stab you in the throat. If you want a less fishy taste add more breading or filling and any desirable pepper.

• Wheat bread crumbs
• Olive oil for frying
• ½ teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ tablespoon minced onion
• Old Bay and Cayenne pepper
• Parsley and hot sauce as desired
