Easy Salmon Cakes

Makes about 8 cakes

• 1 15 oz can pink salmon, drained
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 medium onion, diced
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp crushed red chile flakes
• 1 tsp thyme
• 2 tsp dried parsley or 2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
• 1 tsp lemon-pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp hot sauce, such as Tabasco
• 2 - 3 tbsp oil

Combine everything in a large bowl. Mash together well. Form balls of the salmon mixture and flatten into patties about 3" across and 1/2" thick. Fry patties over moderate heat in a skillet with 1 tbsp oil until nicely golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes per side.

Serve with Garlic Sauce, tartar sauce, mayonnaise or other creamy sauce.
