Zesty Salmon Patties with Creamy Avocado Slaw

How to make it

1. 1

   First, you will want to drain your canned salmon very well. In a medium bowl, flake the salmon apart with a fork. It helps to really break it up.

2. 2

   Now, add the panko breadcrumbs and the egg to your salmon. Mix everything gently until it is just combined. You do not want to overmix it.

3. 3

   Form the salmon mixture into four small, evenly sized patties. Make them firm enough to hold their shape.

4. 4

   Heat a little bit of oil, your favorite kind, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once it is warm, cook your salmon patties for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until they are beautifully golden brown and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   While the patties cook, mash your ripe avocado in a small bowl. Stir in the coleslaw mix along with a good squeeze of fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper. Serve the hot salmon patties with a generous dollop of the creamy avocado slaw on top.
