Salmon Patties

1 lb salmon, canned (either pink or red)
1 pinch salt
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup bread crumbs, plain or spiced
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Form into patties about
1/2to 3/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 - 3 inches diameter. This should make about
8 patties. Fry in oil or butter until brown and crispy, or bake in a
well-greased pan at 400 degrees until brown (about 15 minutes).
NOTES:
* Snack or Main Course -- This is a very nice finger food, great for
lunchon a hike. Or they can be served hot as a main course.
* I usually make a double batch.
* These are great either hot or cold. If you take them out of the
freezerin the morning and put them in your ba ckpack, they'll be just right
by lunchtime.
