Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, just until tender.
- Place salmon in a mixing bowl. Add onions and peppers, egg, torn bread, mustard, basil and black pepper; mix well. Form into 4, equal sized patties.

Recipe Note – Often canned salmon will also contain some bones; don’t be discouraged! These calcium rich goodies crush very easily and add valuable nutrition when mixed all together.
