potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: mashed potatoes

Sweet potatoes add nutrition and flavor.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber and are gluten-free.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier but more expensive.

capers

💰Cheaper: green olives

Green olives provide a similar briny flavor.

1

Make the tartar sauce first by mixing mayo, dried dill, yellow mustard, dill relish, and Pam's Prep all-purpose seasoning in a bowl.

2

Add a squeeze of lemon to the tartar sauce mixture and refrigerate it to let the flavors combine.

3

Open a can of pink salmon and drain most of the liquid, ensuring to remove the bones.

4

Mash the salmon in a bowl using your hands or a utensil to check for any remaining bones.

5

Add bread crumbs, flour, dried dill, chopped purple onion, and chopped green bell peppers to the mashed salmon.

6

Incorporate mayo and an egg into the mixture for moisture and binding.

7

Mix the ingredients with a spatula, then use your hands to ensure everything is well combined.

8

Form the mixture into patties and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper to rest.

9

Heat avocado oil in a skillet, enough to cover the bottom, but not deep frying.

10

Once the oil is hot (it will move around in the skillet), add the patties, cooking three at a time to avoid crowding.

11

Cook the patties until golden brown on one side, then turn them over when they release easily from the skillet.

12

Remove any burnt bits from the skillet between batches to prevent burning the next batch.
