Directions

Dump the salmon in a bowl and mash. Stir in the corn, 1 cup of the cracker crumbs, the onion, the eggs, and the egg white. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup crumbs on a plate.

I made this for Christian and I one day at my house when my parents did not cook. It was a nice summery meal and not too fulling. Christian had a good idea of getting veggie chips and putting one of the salmon burgers in a salad. In fact that is my lunch for the next day.

They were kind of watery so next time I think I will drain the salmon. We served them on buns. I put mayo, he put mustard.
