Where’s the crackers, you ask? Crumbled up and coating the patties, to make them crisp. They’re also in the patties, binding the ingredients together instead of breadcrumbs.

Make these ahead of time and heat ‘em up for your next party. They’ll disappear quick. 

Ingredients

• 2 oz. Patagonia Provisions Organic Margherita Pizza Crackers
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup red bell pepper, chopped fine
• ¼ cup red onion, chopped fine
• 1 tbsp. parsley, chopped fine, plus more for topping
• 3 tbsp. mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tsp. hot red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 (6 oz) packs Patagonia Provisions Wild Sockeye Salmon (Original), skin removed and salmon broken up into fine flakes
• 2 tbsp. canola oil (or any oil suitable for high heat)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Putting It All Together

1. Crush the crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a mortar and pestle. You should end up with about 6 tbsp. crumbs.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg with the flour, bell pepper, onion, 1 tbsp. parsley, 3 tbsp. cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice and chili flakes (if using). Add salmon and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Form the mixture into 2½-in.-wide patties. Lightly coat the patties with the rest of the breadcrumbs.
4. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium–high heat. When it’s shimmering, fry cakes 3-4 at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 8 minutes.
5. Arrange on a serving dish and top with more parsley if you like.
