Salmon Patties

Here's tonight's meatless, relatively easy and kid-friendly fare: Baked Salmon Patties with Leek and Dill. My picky 3yo ate it all, which definitely says something!

1 14.75 can pink salmon
2-3 Tbsp eggless/dairy free mayo (we use Hain, there are others with various ingredients)
1 leek
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 -1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp lemon juice
Kaiser or other semi-crusty roll

Clean salmon of skin and bones and set aside. Cut off about 3 inches of the leek (trimming and discarding the very end of the root). Rinse, pat dry, and chop leek. Saute in olive oil for 3-4 minutes to soften, stirring constantly. (To save time, and because I can never seem to 'pat dry' well enough, I did the following instead: chopped the still dirty leek, then rinsed in a strainer, and put in a hot, dry frying pan, stirring constantly for a minute to dry them off. Then I pushed them aside and added the oil to the pan, and sauteed from there).

Add cooked leek to the salmon. Stir in the safe mayo - enough to make the salmon stick together. Add the dill and lemon juice and mix well.

Form into bun sized patties and place on non stick or foil lined cookie tray or jelly roll pan. Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 350* F.

Serve on lightly toasted kaiser rolls (although they were also good on plain ol' hamburger rolls!) My family said these were good with baby dill pickles too. :)

Serves 4-5.
