Dinner is, almost, served.

Went looking for a little recipe.  Tuna, salmon, some other canned fish, into a patty.  Fried or baked?  I... was just going to see where the chef, cook, or hungry human, or their story really, took me.  As it ended up, tuna, mixed, and fried.  The video recipe?  Here.

Of course, who ever has everything?  I have no lemon, so will use lime juice.  As well, I don't have cajun spice.  So, I added spices I do have, hotter spices this time, cayenne and standard pepper flakes.  I like leveling heat, adding several layers, and sometimes side spices which help, such as ginger... though not ginger this time.

As well, while I added onion powder, I decided to dice some fresh yellow onion, and add that.  And, I added asiago, dop.  Just a little dab, along with parmesan.  Oh, and I am just adding a dribble of lime juice at the end, didn't add any while cooking.

I'll let you know how it turned out.  If it works, I can start using my cans and packages of tuna, salmon, and else a bit more frequently.  This is comfort food.  Mother used to make this fairly often.  A few times a week or month, though it would fall in and out of favor, with prices, availability, and else.  You know how the world works.

Well... it sounds like it is ready.  Nothing on the side, this time.  Next time, a can of peas, or a bit of spinach or beats?  Later.

------------

Good enough for my use.  I don't think I did just right.  Then again, I think the memory of something is often better than the practical?  If, too, one almost never cooks as good as one's mother.  Well, and I am using keto ingredients, which... to be honest... aren't as tasty.  That's just the truth.

Still, given all the options?  I can happily take this.  I would serve it to guests, had I had a dinner guest.  I might cut the heat down.  Not that it, to me, was hot.  But... the food really, to my mind, isn't meant to be spicy warm.  I went, pretty much, with his recipe, as a start.  Not at all a bad one.

The only thing I didn't like, was his use of pans.  I only use case, stainless, or high carbon frying pans these days.  No non-stick, save what can be created on those types of pans.  And, really, I can fry eggs without them sticking.  I don't need more than that.  Oh, and it was the latter, high carbon, that I used this time.  Nice and crisp.  I used a bit of butter and a bit of virgin cold pressed coconut oil.  Perhaps he has limits, to his strength.  Non-stick coatings are rather toxic.  They really are.  And that is assuming they are fresh, new enough, and unscratched.  Scratched up and they are pure poison.  I... just... cringe, when I see that on y.t.  I honestly think they push what is unhealthy.  Or, when pushing something healthy, add poison to it.  Don't use non-stick.  And, if you are younger, understand it works against fertility, as well as being highly carcinogenic.  Much like sun protective clothing.  Don't wear it.  Well, do what you like.  If you end up impotent with cancer, you have chosen, or are limited to those choices?  

I was rather happy with it.  I really like that.  I need more fish, but won't buy things through China, or a few other nations.  They will add in their toxic fish, or parts of them, to get rid of what their own people have learned not to eat.  Better to starve than eat China's (or any nations' actually) farmed fish.  Bad in America, absolutely filthy with added toxins and heavy metals in China.  They use the fish to clean their water?  Or just poison the fish.  Never can be certain what the goal of any particular communist government is, at any particular time.  Just know it is evil, and is meant to be.

Hmm?  Oh, next time I will try salmon patties.  Almost like a trip back to my childhood.  Some parts of it were very good.
