SUCCESS!

I managed to reproduce mom's salmon patties.  Whoo hoo!  They were good too!  First I picked her brain to see if she could remember -and she did most of it - then I compared to this recipe.

Ingredients:


•1 can (16 ounces) salmon

•1 small onion, finely grated


•ground black pepper, to taste

•2 large eggs, well beaten

•1 to 1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs

•3 tablespoons butter

Preparation:

Turn salmon and liquid into a medium mixing bowl. Flake with a fork, removing OR mashing any bones (they are edible). Mix in grated onion, and pepper. Mix beaten eggs with salmon. Add enough bread crumbs, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, to make thick enough to shape into 12 small patties. Roll patties in 1/2 cup bread crumbs. In a large heavy skillet over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter; add patties. Fry patties slowly on one side; add remaining butter, turn patties and fry until brown on the other side.


And now  here they are cooking in one of her iron skillets......
