Salmon is one of the most amazingly nutritious meats out there.  It does wonders for a dog’s skin and coat.  This recipe includes cornmeal which is ok in moderation for dog’s who are not allergic.  If possible, you can replace the cornmeal with rolled oats.

Ingredients-

• 1 can bonless salmon
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal (or oats)
• 1 potato, chopped and boiled
• 1 carrot, chopped and boiled
• 1 stick celery, chopped

Combine salmon, egg, and cornmeal.  Mix well.  Form into patties, coat with more cornmeal.  Fry in a tiny amount of canola oil until brown on both sides.  Chop patties into small bites and stir in with chopped and boiled veggies.  You can stir in a spoonful of cottage cheese for moisture as an option.

This recipe is great because cottage cheese is the best dairy product for a dog, full of antioxidants and protein.
