Salmon patty suggestions?
I've been making salmon patties for years the way my mother did - canned
salmon, egg and crumbled up saltines, mix, form patties and fry. Pretty good but I'm getting a bit tired of them. Can someone suggest an addition or ingredient change to brighten them up a little?

And here's a trick, the results of which you may or may not like: put a capful of lemon extract into the mixture. Steve |

Stir that in with the salmon, egg and crumbs. Add a few drops of a good hot Louisiana red hot sauce. Chill patties in fridge for a while to help them resist breaking apart. Fry the patties in the same pan you cooked the shallots in. Serve with lemon wedges. -aem |

do you have the recipe for the white sauce she put on the patties?

I add instant potato flakes, a bit of flour, chopped onion, Old Bay seasoning and a bit of milk and process it in a food processor or with a stick blender until it's suitably chopped and mixed, adding more milk or potato flakes as needed to get a decent texture. I then form the patties, coat them in bread crumbs and pan fry them. I typically make a big batch and then vac bag and freeze the extras in pairs (cooked) for quick reheating in the future. It's a bit different than most recipes, but it works well and I like the results. I do use canned salmon for "salmon pie" however. |

Chives, parsley, chervil are often used. A bit of lemon juice add to the patties and then fried in butter and garlic is nice. Course if you want to make a major improvement use fresh fish and not canned. Grind your own if you have to but fresh is best. A combo of ground chicken and shrimp with garlic, butter and white wine is excellent and can be poached or sautŽed. Are you familiar with gefelte fish?

However, no matter if I use canned or fresh I put these things in, chopped red onion, fresh parsley, mayo,lemon juice, tobasco, an egg or two,Fresh parsley makes a big difference Fresh grtound pepper too... I think thats about it. Rosie |

There was a time that canned salmon was what was available in the 50's. Fresh seafood of all types are flown in daily to markets. Search out fresh salmon, dice and try a crab cake recipe. This is from Ina Garten although it is ten or more years old but still a stellar recipe. @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Crab Cakes-Garten seafood 2 tb unsalted butter 2 tb olive oil 3/4 c red onion; diced 1 1/2 c celery; fine dice 1/2 c red bell pepper; fine dice 1/2 c yellow bell pepper; fine dice 1/4 c parsley; minced 1 tb capers; drained 1/4 ts Tabasco sauce 1/2 ts worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 ts Old Bay Seasoning 1/2 ts kosher salt 1/2 ts black pepper; fresh grind 1/2 lb lump crabmeat 1/2 c plain dry bread crumbs 1/2 c mayonnaise 2 ts dijon mustard 2 xl eggs; lightly beaten 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 c olive oil Place the 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons oil, onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, break the lump crabmeat into small pieces and toss with the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the cooked mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into bite-sized crab cakes. Heat the butter and olive oil for frying over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the crab cakes and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a 250 degree oven and serve hot.

Canned pink salmon is something I used to eat when I was very poor, but now I think of as cat food. I addition to the above standard ingredients, you could add a bit of dijon mustard, dill weed, and/or very finely diced onion or celery. > > TIA > > Ken --Bryan |

Interesting, a béchamel type sauce. I'd also consider a similar yogurt based sauce (tatziki?). |

Am I the only person here who uses cornmeal in their salmon patties
instead crushed crackers?? Of course an egg is a must and several healthy dashes of MSG-free lemon pepper to the mixture. |

Steve Pope said canned salmon is always wild caught salmon, not farm raised. I'm curious about this and hope it is true. There is a big difference between pink and red salmon in price (and taste to me). I've been buying the small cans of red to make patties, but I'd be happy to try the pink larger cans if I thought it wasn't farm raised. It just never occured to me - maybe it tells you on the label. I guess it may be like white or light tuna.....I've come to prefer the light, in oil. Libby |

The color comes from the variety of fish. You can read about it here (usual wikipedia caveats): <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_salmon> That states that pink salmon are not commonly farmed. > I guess it may be like white or light tuna.....I've come to prefer the > light, in oil. It has a milder flavor than Sockeye (red). It's not that close to tuna, but I have made salmon salad from it in the past with reasonable success.

You can be almost certain of it. If you like, you can just buy only the cans that say "wild" on them. Steve |

Thank you Steve and Brian for your answers on the canned salmon. I guess I should have gone to Wikopedia, but I do appreciate your kindness. I'll be trying the pink canned salmon for my next patties. By the way, I like them with an egg, bread crumbs, and old bay seasoning. I usually serve them with a chipolte mayo sauce and lemon. Thanks again, Libby |

That's what usually happens, as most people (see previous threads here in rfc) clearly prefer the taste of the red. I don't know if all canned salmon is wild caught -- I certainly hope so -- but if the can says "wild" or "Alaska" you'll be good. There aren't any fish farms in Alaska. Shellfish have been tried, but not fish. -aem |

Though it sounds very good (and with some extra effort), I doubt this was the type of suggestion the OP was looking for.

Up until then all salmon came from the grocery store in a can and we made salmon patties with it. I caught my first salmon, a silver, in the Columbia River, near Kennewick, WA in July of 1986. We grilled it over charcoal, skin side down with a little lemon juice and I haven't eaten canned salmon since. |

That's what usually happens, as most people (see previous threads here in rfc) clearly prefer the taste of the red. That's because most are afflicted with TIAD and have more dollars than brain cells. The red is too good for blending with all those ingredients, formed into patties, and fried... like using top shelf scotch for sours. The pink is used blended into recipes and cooked. The red is eaten au jus (never cooked), or used to top a composed salad, not even dressing of any kind 'cept the liquid from the salmon, with just a spritz of fresh lemon. |
