\nHere is an real easy recipe for a very fulfilling snack or meal. Some cooked fish and then add “whatever” you want, some spice for a kick and you have these crispy, flaky patties.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was born in a fish loving land, a sweet land where we are known to eat fish for lunch and dinner; and also for snack in the form of “macher chop” (fish cutlets), fish fry (fish fillets coated in batter and deep fried)\u00a0 and a variety others. I remember my dida (grandma), creating these wonderful fish croquettes very quickly with leftover fish when we had those early evening cravings. The matter was more elaborate when we had guests – tiny, finger sized croquettes all in the exact same size and shape arranged neatly on a tray disappeared pretty quick. The small restaurant that sits near the train station in my home town still sits there drawing a big crowd with their special fish chop.. ah! unforgettable!<\/p>\n

The salmon patties here is neither as pretty nor as professional. We never ate salmon back home for in West Bengal the love for fish is kind of limited to fresh water fish\/river fish. We do not get much of those here and my kids still have not acquired the taste for salmon. They find it chewy as compared to Tilapia which they will readily eat. I actually made these tiny patties as lunch burgers. They were appreciated and eaten by my kids. I ate mine generously dipped in some sriracha.

\nThese are fairly easy to do, especially if you have canned fish. I used the salmon fillets and steamed them; mixed all other things I had at hand and created these delectable patties. These are shallow fried in a pan. I bet they would have been a bigger treat if they were coated and deep fried like at back home, but for now I am happy this way.
