Categories: Cklive11
Yield: 1 servings

3/4 lb Salmon fillet; cut into 6
-pieces
1/2 Lemon; thinly sliced
1 Egg
1/2 c Milk
3/4 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
6 tb Butter or vegetable oil
Lemon wedges
Optional garnish: Cucumber
-and Red Onion; (recipe

Place the salmon pieces in a deep, medium-sized skillet or shallow
saucepan. Pour in enough boiling water to almost cover fish. Add lemon
slices. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and
simmer 10 minutes, or until salmon is opaque in center when flaked. Remove
salmon with a slotted spatula. Remove the skin and bones and flake fish
into a medium bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Add flour, baking powder,
salt and pepper. Whisk just until blended. Pour batter over cooked salmon.
Stir gently to mix.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour batter,
1/4 cup for each latke, into the hot butter. Raise the heat to medium-high
and cook latkes until nicely browned and crisp on bottom, about 4 minutes.
Turn over and cook until second side is crisp and browned, about 2 minutes
longer. Repeat in 1 or 2 more batches to use remaining batter, adding more
butter as needed.

Drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with lemon wedges. Garnish with Cucumber
and Red Onion Salad, if desired.

Yield: 12 latkes, 6 servings
