Salmon Sticks

A quick and easy kid favorite, this recipe is a creative way to use canned salmon and saltine crackers! Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids which are good for your heart and brain health.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14.75 oz can pink or red salmon drained with hard bones and skin removed
  • 16 saltine crackers crushed (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine salmon, cracker crumbs, and egg.
  • Divide mixture into 8 balls and shape into sticks about 4 inches long.
  • 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.
  • Flip over and cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Canned 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.
