Tuna Patty

My husband's family has been making Tuna Patties for years. They take it with them in the cooler with them while they go water skiing. (That's the first time I had ever had Tuna Patty, when we were dating and went water skiing with Wes's Fam). It is good! Over the years we have tweaked it to our liking. Here is the recipe we have come up with....

In a large bowl add:

4 cans tuna

2 sleeves of Saltine crackers (crushed with hands before opening)

6 eggs

1 C. shredded cheese

Spices:

We like

1/2 tsp. Garlic salt

1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1/2 tsp. Lemon Pepper

Mix until well incorporated.

Place 1/2 of the mixture into a frying pan. (We like to put 2 Tbsp. Coconut oil in a hot pan first). Spread in the pan and smash with a fork. 

To flip I like to slide it onto a plate (raw side up) and then flip the plate back into the pan. Cook until well browned.

I like to slice the giant patty with a pizza cutter and place into our tortilla warmer to keep it warm.

Serve with: Lemon Juice, hot sauce, or ketchup.

Lemon Pepper Salmon

We love to have salmon at least once a week, because it contains healthy fatty acids. Plus it tastes yummy!

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 Tbsp. Butter
4 Wild caught salmon pieces
Mrs. Dash lemon pepper

I know this seams like a no brainer, but for those of you out there who really don't know how to cook salmon, here it is.

In a skillet heat up olive oil and butter. Put raw salmon in the pan and sprinkle with Lemon Pepper generously. After 5-10 minutes on Medium heat, turn over carefully and sprinkle other side with Lemon Pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes on that side. Cover with lid, so it stays moist and oil doesn't pop all over. Don't cook too long or it will be dry. How do you tell if it is done? Put your fork in it and if it pulls apart easily, it is done.
