Ricotta-Dill Salmon Patties

Ingredients:

• 15 ounces canned wild salmon, well drained
• 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 2 large egg whites (may substitute 1 whole egg)
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
• 1 scallion (green onion), minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)

Directions:

1. Add the salmon to a large mixing bowl (remove the skin and large bones if desired). Mash with a fork.
2. Add the ricotta, oats, egg whites (or egg), dill, scallion, and lemon zest (if using) and mix well. Form the salmon mixture into 4 patties.
3. Liberally coat a large sauté pan with oil spray, and preheat the pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon patties and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

Serving size: 1 salmon patty
