Good & Good For You: Colleen's Salmon Patties

 
Thanks to my cousin, Colleen for this recipe and great food pic.  I love cod/haddock/tuna/salmon patties. Don't know why I don't make them more. I think it's easy, at least in mind, to get stuck in the beef/pork/chicken-centered dinner mode.  But fish patties are a great alternative meal.  These can be baked or fried. To me, Colleen's method of baking them is easier, less calories, and they all come out done at the same time, no frying and trying to keep warm while waiting for the rest to finish. 

Such a lovely meal--thanks, Collleen!
