 Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14.75 ounces) pink salmon, drained
  • ½ cup crushed saltine crackers (about 16 crackers)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine salmon, cracker crumbs and egg.
2.Divide mixture into 8 balls and shape into sticks about 4 inches long.
3.Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray. Add oil and preheat the skillet on medium for 1 to 2 minutes. Add fish sticks and cook for 3 minutes.
4.Flip over and cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown.


Helpful Hints:

Helpful Hint #1:
Canned pink salmon contains soft bones that are a great source of calcium. Take out any large, hard bones, and then mash the small bones with a fork. You can do this and you will never know the bones are there once the fish is cooked! Pink salmon is “swimming” with omega-3 fatty acids — a “good” thing for your heart. So, it’s a good idea to get hooked on salmon!

Helpful Hint #2:
Rinsing your hands in lemon juice and water will get rid of the fishy smell after preparing fish.


Safety Tip:

Change dishcloths and towels daily and wash them in hot, soapy water. A dirty dishcloth is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, and it could spread germs. Throw out old, dirty or smelly sponges — or wash them in a bleach-water solution.
