Tuna or Salmon Cakes Recipes
When I was growing up, both of my parents made tuna cakes, potato cakes, and corn fritters on a regular basis. Dad's were always best, but don't tell mom I said that.
I'm no great fan of corn fritters, and I can never get my potato cakes to hold together, but tuna cakes I can do. And, my husband loves them.
They're so easy to make that it would be silly not to, especially since they're a great way to get fish into your diet. I make them with canned tuna or canned salmon, but I suspect any fish will work well if prepared right.

The Ingredients
1 foil packet or can of pink salmon or chunk light tuna1 egg
6 saltine crackers- crushed (or 4 for optional directions)
ground black pepper to taste
(optional) 2 tablespoons of cooked bulgur wheat
The Directions
Mix together, and let set several minutes (you want the egg to soften the crackers). If following optional directions, add the cooked bulgur now.Lightly grease frying pan with butter, margerine, olive oil, or non-stick spray.
Divide into 4 or 5 patties, and fry gently, turning once.
The Optional Directions
Bulgur wheat is highly nutritious, yet virtually undetectable in this recipe. Add a little to the tuna cakes, or many other recipes for a nutritional punch without aggravating your eaters.

- Glad to help! I love this recipe because it's so adaptable. I've made it with Boston Blue and Orange Roughy, and also with flounder and crab mixed together. With those lighter flavors, I add parsley and Old Bay, though.
