  • 2 Tbls. orange juice
  • 6 Tbls. c. low-fat mayonnaise (or Hellman’s with olive oil)

Instructions

SUN-DRIED TOMATO SPREAD: Place tomatoes and orange juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered until thickened (10 minutes). Cool completely. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in mayonnaise. Refrigerate until serving.

SALMON PATTIES: Combine feta, saltines, egg, red onion and dill in a large mixing bowl.

Place salmon in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped (do not over process). Add salmon to the feta mixture. Mix lightly, but thoroughly. Shape into (8) 1-inch thick patties. Refrigerate a few hours before frying.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add patties in batches and cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes on each side.

Serve on buns with tomato spread and pickles.
