Mackerel patties

I found a can of mackerel in the pantry shelf the other day. I usually use it to make a spicy fish stew to serve over rice, but this time I wanted to try something different. Here’s a recipe for some mackerel patties.

Ingredients:

• 15 oz can of mackerel, drained
• 1/2 cup whole grain cereal, blended (I used Kelloggs All-bran Bran buds cereal. Since the pieces are already really small, I loosely blended the cereal and ended up with some crumbs and some whole pieces.)
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 3 egg whites
• 3 tsp onion powder
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 3 tbsp chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp horseradish
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Flake mackerel with their bones into a large bowl.
2. Add cereal, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, walnuts, horseradish, salt and pepper.
3. Mix with hands and form into 4-5 patties.
4. Broil mackerel patties on high in baking dish with rack in middle of the oven for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

These mackerel patties came out delicious and were so easy to make. The cereal gives it an extra crunchiness. I can eat them on its own, slice it up and add it to a salad, or simply put it into a sandwich or burger. It goes well with a little dijonnaise.
