Directions

1. First take the Mayo, 1 cup of crackers, onion, egg, crab meat, the Salmon and mix it well in a bowl. Then let the mixture sit in the fridge for 30 min.
2. Then heat the oil in a skillet, throw a pinch of the mixture in the pan to see if the oil is hot enough. If the oil sizzles after the pinch is in then the oil is hot enough.
3. Take the cake mixture and begin forming patties the size of your palm. You can use your hand or a spoon to help scoop out portions of the mixture.

• Roll the scooped out portion in your hand then press down with your palm to create a burger pattie shape and place some of the remaining crackers on each side of the patties.
• Once you have made the pattie place it in the skillet, cooking 4 minutes on each side or until the patties turn brown. Repeat the process until the entire mixture has been created into patties and cooked.
• When removing them from the skillet place them on a paper towel covered pan to help soak up the excess oil from the patties.
  • If you prefer not to have the salmon, then just use more crab meat instead. Also with the crab, place it on a paper towel and dab to help drain the excess juice, so the mixture won’t be so messy or fall apart.
