My Nana's Salmon Cakes

Since I am making this tonight for dinner, I decided to share the recipe. Very easy.

1 can salmon (I take out the big bones and take the skin off)
1/2 sleeve saltine crackers
1 egg
salt and pepper

Put salmon into bowl and mix in all other ingredients. Form into patties and cook (I put 1-2 tbsp butter in the pan) until crispy on the outside. My kids like to eat theirs with ketchup. I like mine plain.
