Ingredients
1 can (16 oz) Canned pink salmon, drained
16 Saltine crackers, crushed into fine crumbs
1 Egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, crushed saltine cracker crumbs, and beaten egg. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a stick approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Lightly coat a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the vegetable oil to the prepared skillet and heat over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the oil shimmers.
Carefully place the salmon sticks into the hot skillet and cook for 3 minutes without moving them.
Flip each stick and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown and the sticks are heated through.
Comments
Salmon sticks deliver solid value for a weeknight protein—fresh salmon and saltine crackers are standard stock at any Charlotte grocer, with no special trips needed. At roughly $2.50 per serving (driven by salmon cost, which fluctuates but runs $8–12 per pound at Harris Teeter or Walmart), this is reasonable for a seafood dish. The stated 16 minutes is honest for pan-frying breaded pieces, though you'll need a few extra minutes for assembly and breading. This reheats adequately in a 350-degree oven, making it workable for a family dinner or next-day lunch.
