Estelle's Best Ever Cajun Salmon Cakes

1 can of Honey Boy Red Salmon

1 can of Honey Boy Pink Salmon

1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper

2 T. cornmeal

1/2 sleeve of Ritz Crackers, crushed

1 t. garlic powder

1 t. Worcestershire Sauce

1 t. Tabasco

1 t. Old Bay Seasoning

1/4 cup Mayonnaise (Duke's)

1 egg

1 t. lemon juice

a dash of cayenne pepper

If you are making these for dinner, begin the recipe about Noon.....
Combine each can of salmon, Drain the cans, BUT save a bit of the oil. Flake with a fork in a mixing bowl. Add the onion and green pepper and mix together. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix gently. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours. When ready to prepare, form patties as you would a hamburger....pat together gently. I use Wesson Oil for these. Place each salmon cake in a preheated skillet which you have seasoned with about 1/4 cup of Wesson oil or a good vegetable oil. Brown on low heat on each side. Then place the skillet, covered, in a preheated 300 degree F. oven for 30 minutes. These are SO flavorful, a little crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside..just about perfect!!!
