Hash for Dinner

Monday, we had those great Salmon burgers for dinner, but we had three patties left over for last night, Tuesday, the 8th. After one of those phone calls with Rob discussing what to have for dinner, I decided on Salmon Hash.

Now, I love potatoes, Rob says they are my first love. Who knows, maybe he's right, but they really aren't bad for you, if you don't put a lot of stuff on them. So, I put a potato in the microwave for about 4 minutes. You don't want it completely cooked, because you want to be able to grate it. After it is par-cooked, grate it along with half a zucchini. Press the water out of this mixture with your hands or in a cheese cloth. Mix both with 1 beaten egg and salt and pepper to taste, along with 1/2 grated onion. Put about 2 tbs of olive oil on a griddle and make three to four patties with the potato/zucchini mixture. Fry the patties until they are golden and then flip to the other side.

While they are cooking take the three leftover salmon patties and cut them into dice. Slice a medium onion and 8 ounces of mushrooms thinly. I went to the garden again and pulled a tomato from the vine. Dice this. Saute the onion in 1 tbs of olive oil along with two cloves of chopped garlic. When the onions are translucent add the mushrooms and cook them down until they release their water. Add the tomato and the diced salmon patties. Cook this mixture until the salmon is warm.

Now, take one or two of those great potato/zucchini fritters you've made and put them on a plate. Top with the hash. I gave Rob a plate and his comment was "That's really much too big a portion." But in the end, he said it was so good, that he couldn't stop eating it. The plate was empty. What an easy recipe. I'll definitely make Salmon Hash again.
