Salmon Patties

My family loves fish, and my kids miss having fish sticks.  Kids being kids, they like anything they can pick up and eat with their hands.  Salmon is very nutritious, rich in omega-3s, so it only makes sense to come up with something they can eat like fishsticks, nix the gluten, and add something of nutritional substance.  I always get stuck when trying to come up with something to serve with fish, other than rice.  We eat so much rice as it is, it's nice to change it up sometimes.  I served my salmon patties with baked sweet potatoes topped with real butter and brown sugar, and fresh green and wax beans from the garden, steamed. 

Salmon Patties

5, 5.5 oz cans of salmon, drained
1/2 c rice flour, brown or white
1/2 c corn flour
2 eggs
1/4 c milk
salt and lemon pepper, to taste
Oil for frying

Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well blended.  Drop 1/4 c at a time into preheated oil in frying pan.  Fry until deep golden colored on both sides. 
Now you can stop there, but I am a dipper.  I dip just about everything.  You can mix a 16 oz container of sour cream with 1/2 c of ranch, and 1 tsp of dried dill, or make a simple tartar sauce out of mayo and relish.
