-1 can salmon
-A roughly equivalent amount of instant mashed potato flakes
-1 egg
-Chopped onion (you can get this in dehydrated form, it's sold in the spice section)
-Whatever other seasonings you have -- red pepper, garlic salt, and a little bit of smoke flavoring work really well.
optional: a little bit of beer for extra flavor, plus some extra potato flakes to soak it up.
Mash it all together, form into patties, and fry 'em up on a skillet on low-medium heat until golden brown and nice and hot throughout. Use a little cooking spray and you have a very healthy meal, or use about a half inch of vegetable oil and it's wonderfully artery-clogging.
Canned fish in general kicks ass for cheap dining. VERY high protein, low fat, and a good source of calcium if you don't mind eating the kinds that have softened bones in it.
