I make them similar to crab cakes:
Ingredients:
1 15 oz. (or close) can red or pink salmon, drained
1/2 medium- or large green pepper, diced
1 large egg
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp lemon juice, fresh or bottled
2 tbsp mayonnaise (light or lowfat is fine)
1/4 tsp hot mustard powder (or equivalent regular mustard)
1/2 tsp onion powder optional
1 tbsp Old Bay seafood seasoning (or similar such as Philip's or Wye River
brands)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Sufficient canola oil for 1/2" depth in a 12" saute/fry pan (I use a cast
iron pan)
Directions
Empty drained canned salmon into medium mixing bowl and mash with a large
fork to break up. In a small bowl, beat egg until mixed then add
Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard powder, onion powder
if using, and seafood seasoning - mix all ingredients in small mixing bowl
well. Pour the mixed ingredients into the bowl of salmon and mix well. Add
the breadcrumbs and mix well. Form salmon cake mixture into 6 to 8 equal
patties.
Heat oil in pan until 360 deg F. Gently place patties in pan and fry about
4 minutes on each side until deep golden brown. Place on
paper-towel-covered plate to absorb some of the oil & serve.
I add a little pepper to taste at the table; the seafood seasoning is
somewhat salty so I do not add any more salt during preparation. Capers are
good in them instead of the green pepper and a bit of minced sweet onion can
be used instead of the onion powder but not too much as it can overwhelm the
subtle flavor. I have successfully cut back a bit on the bread crumbs but
only about a tbsp less ...
I do not know the nutritional breakdown (sorry no recipe software presently
that could calculate it) but I do follow a general low-GI approach as well
as watching total carbs and these patties do not affect my glucose level
much and I eat them with steamed brown rice and some sort of green veggie
blend....
