Salmon Patties/Tahini Sauce

• 1 - 15 oz. can salmon - flake with a fork, removing any skin pieces but mashing any small bones
• 2 pieces whole wheat bread - make into crumbs with your blender or food processor
• 1/3 - 1/2 of a red sweet pepper - chopped small in food processor
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or chives
• 1 small onion - chopped small in food processor
• 3 - 4 Tbsp. hummus
• 3 - 4 drops Tabasco sauce or 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp. fresh or bottled lemon juice

Directions:

• Mix all ingredients together. 
• Shape into patties (I make 8 from this recipe). 
• Spray your largest frying pan with a cooking oil spray (olive or canola oil) and fry until browned on each side.

Makes 8 patties.

I serve these with Tahini Sauce (although my kids are happy to eat the salmon patties plain):

• 1/4 cup Tahini (sesame seed paste)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 clove garlic chopped very small
• 1 - 2 tsp. lemon juice

Makes 1/2 cup of sauce.  A serving is approximately 1 T.
