Lenten Salmon Patties Cooking Steps
Forming the Patties
Once the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, it’s time to form the patties. Divide the mixture into four even portions. Using your hands, shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Frying the Patties
Next, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of butter. Once the butter has melted and started to bubble slightly, add your patties to the pan. Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown on both sides. Be sure to flip them carefully to ensure both sides get evenly cooked and have that delicious crispy exterior.
Making the Sandwich
Finally, place your cooked patties between slices of your favorite bread to make a delicious sandwich. Feel free to add any additional condiments or vegetables as per your taste. These Lenten Salmon Patty sandwiches make an excellent meal for Lent, and can be enjoyed any day of the year!
