Salmon Archives - Just Jodi Style

It’s Wednesday and you all know what that means it’s time for a hump day treat recipe. One of my favorite childhood memories of my Grandparent’s is how my Grandma would always make us lunch whenever my brother and I went over to my Grandparent’s apartment. Now since my grandparents kept kosher inside their home there was certain things that we weren’t allowed to eat while we were there because of it. She figured out quickly something that was easy to make for her and something that all the grandchildren would eat. Mac n Cheese with Salmon Patties! They were really salmon burgers but she liked calling them patties for us. So now she would make us the standard kraft macaroni and cheese from the box which we all know is a classic. Today I personally love to make the Cracker Barrel white cheddar mac n cheese. If you haven’t tried it already you need to do it right away! Now for the salmon burgers here is what you will need if you are cooking for yourself:

Ingredients:

1 can of pink boneless skinless salmon

Bread crumbs (I use the Italian ones)

2 eggs

Vegetable oil

Plastic gloves

Directions:

1.Put on the plastic gloves. Open the can of salmon and drain out the liquid. In a mixing bowl place the salmon that you have removed and drained from the can. Using your hands that have gloves on them mix it so it’s in small pieces.

2.Crack two eggs over the salmon. Now mix it all together with your hands so that the egg is all mixed in with the salmon.

3.After you have mixed the egg in pour a little bit of Italian bread crumbs in the bowl. My brother Ira always says more bread crumbs, but you don’t want it to be too much so that the patties are now dry. I always say add a ¼ of a cup at a time. When the salmon has a good consistency where it’s still a little sticky enough to make burgers then you have added enough.

4.In a frying pan heat up the vegetable oil. Once it is heated up place the salmon burgers in the pan. Once you see that the patties are getting brown on one side flip them over so the other side gets golden. Do that about 4 times so each side cooks 3 times on each side.
Hope you all enjoys today’s recipe and are having a great day! <3

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope everyone is having a great hump day and enjoying their week so far. Today I want to talk about cooking in general. Now the other night when I made my friend cauliflower pizza for dinner if you ask my friend Rachael, who so graciously let me use her kitchen that night, I used every dish / pot / pan possible that she had. I am one of those people that I hate eating a meal after cooking without cleaning up after myself beforehand. So I have discovered ways to make it easier for myself and for my sanity while cooking and cleaning. Yesterday for lunch I wanted some roasted broccoli, but I also wanted some salmon. So instead of cooking the salmon on the stove I put it in aluminum foil almost like a pouch. I then place it on a cookie sheet that was lined with aluminum foil and sprayed it and laid my veggies on the side of it. It also makes it an easy clean up if you are using sauces with your meat / fish that you are cooking. For example I used a sesame ginger glaze for my salmon and cooking it this way i can just pick up the “salmon pouch” that i made using aluminum foil and place it direct onto my plate. At the end of the day I used max 3 things for this meal including a cutting board, a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and then the plate I used to eat my meal. There are so many things you can cook together on a cookie sheet in the oven that you may realize now. Hope you all have a great day and if you are interested in seeing things for hump day treats comment below and let me know!
