Ingredients:

2 large potatoes, peeled, diced, cooked
2 cans of salmon
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or cilantro (original recipe calls for cilantro but last time I used dill, both are yummy)
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp each of hot sauce, lemon zest and black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp oil


Directions:

Cook potatoes. In large bowl, mash potatoes until smooth; stir in onions, cilantro/dill, mustard, salt, lemon rind, pepper and hot pepper sauce and oil. Blend in egg. Fold in salmon. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Using hands, shape into eight 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties- you want to think baseball patties; they need to be thick so they don't fall apart when cooking.
In large nonstick skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat; cook 4 of the patties for about 5 minutes per side or until a nice golden crust forms. Repeat with remaining patties.

Serve with lemon wedges and either Lemon Garlic Aioli or Tartar Sauce.
