How about some Salmon Patties?

Update on the Greek pasta with beef.  It was good.  Everyone liked it.  I will keep it in my cookbook with the following changes:  Use only half of the macaroni.  I only had half a package and I am glad.  Any more and the sauce wouldn't have been enough and it would have been very very pasta-y (made up word).

Last night I made an old favorite - Salmon Patties with homemade Thousand Island Dressing.  We all loved them, and they were extremely economical.  I served them with asian slaw.  Here are the recipes:
Salmon Cobb Burgers:
One 14.7 ounce can salmon, drained and picked over
1/2 C. breadcrumbs (I used Panko)
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
a large egg, beaten
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

In a large bowl, combine the salmon, breadcrumbs, 2 T. Parsley, the egg, and mustard.  Shape into 4 patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the patties and cook turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve with thousand island dressing, as a sandwich on toasted bread, or alone.

Thousand Island Dressing
This is so easy, I don't measure.  I just stir to my taste.

Ketchup  ( use about equal measures of the ketchup and the mayonnaise)
Mayonnaise
pickle relish (I use about 1 T.)
chopped onion, if you like it. (My family doesn't care much for the onion, so I leave it out)
Stir together.  It is best if it sits in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
