I'm not trying to push salmon patties on anyone. Like them, don't like
them. All I did was post about what I made for dinner and how I made
them. Terribly sorry it was about *food* and *cooking*. I've got no
idea why it led to a discussionabout whether or not I steam or lightly
salt anything. Note: I didn't steam the salmon patties. LOL Might as
well complain about the oil I use to pan fry them. Or pan frying, for
that matter. Heh.
