Well now, if you’re lookin’ to make somethin’ tasty and easy for dinner, I reckon a salmon patty with some dill sauce is just what you need! I’ve been makin’ this for years, and I tell ya, folks around here just can’t get enough of it. You’ll be makin’ it all the time once you taste it, and the best part is, it ain’t too hard to put together. So let’s get down to it!
Now first things first, you’ll need yourself some good ol’ salmon. I like to use canned salmon ’cause it’s cheap and easy, but if you got fresh, well that’s even better. You just mash up that salmon real nice, get all the bones out, and you’re ready to go.
For the patties, you’ll need a couple of eggs to bind it all together, so crack ’em right in there. Then, you throw in some breadcrumbs – about a cup or so should do the trick, and don’t be shy with it. You want them patties to hold up good when you fry ‘em up, right?
Next, I like to throw in some finely chopped onion and bell pepper. Just a little bit, mind you, ’cause we ain’t lookin’ to make a soup outta this! You just want enough to add a bit of flavor. Then, season it all up with some salt, pepper, and, if you’re feelin’ fancy, a little garlic powder. Ain’t nobody gonna complain about the garlic!
Mix it all up nice and good, and then start makin’ them little patties. You want ‘em not too big, not too small, just the right size so they’ll cook nice and crisp on the outside. Now, don’t go rushin’, take your time and get ‘em all set. You don’t want ‘em falling apart in the pan. Once they’re all ready, heat up a skillet with a little bit of oil – olive oil if you got it, but any kind will do, really. Fry them patties on medium heat, turnin’ ’em ‘til they’re golden brown on both sides.
Now, while them patties are cookin’, let’s talk about the dill sauce. This here sauce is what makes the whole dish sing. It’s real simple to make, just like the rest of this meal. All you need is some mayonnaise, a bit of honey, and some dried dill. Mix ‘em together ‘til it’s smooth, and if you want a bit of tang, go ahead and squeeze a little lemon juice in there. You don’t need much, just enough to give it a little kick.
Once the patties are done, put ’em on a plate and drizzle that creamy dill sauce right on top, or on the side, whatever you like best. Some folks like to add a slice of tomato or lettuce too, but I’m happy with just the salmon and the sauce. Ain’t nothing better than that!
Serving Suggestions: You can serve these salmon patties with a side of steamed veggies, or even just some mashed potatoes if you got the time. But if you’re in a hurry, throw ‘em on a bun like a burger, top it with that dill sauce, and you’ve got yourself a real good meal that’ll fill you up without a lot of fuss. Folks around here love it, and I bet your family will too!
One more thing, don’t be afraid to play around with the sauce a little. Some people like to add a little bit of mustard or horseradish for a spicy twist, and I reckon that’d be real good too! You can even add a bit of garlic if you’re feelin’ extra fancy. Just make sure it tastes good to you, that’s all that matters in the end.
So there ya have it – salmon patties with dill sauce, easy as pie, and mighty tasty too. Ain’t no reason to go to a fancy restaurant when you can whip this up right at home, and it won’t cost ya a fortune either. Enjoy!
