Please share with me your favourite recipes for Salmon Patties/Croquettes.
Bolivar gave me a recipe for croquettes last month which I have not tried
yet; he was still trying to settle on a sauce. IIRC he baked them in fish
shaped cast iron "muffin moulds" which sounded like fun!

BTW, to my mind they are "croquettes" if they are sauced, patties if they
are not. I'd prefer oven-baked or lightly oven-fried (i.e. brush some oil
on the baking pan as opposed to pan-fried in oil). But I'm asking for your
fav's so anything goes

Salmon patties are easy, Jill! Shred up some salmon (or get the canned),
add a touch of mayo, worceteshire (sp?) sauce, lemon, dill, egg, crackers or
breadcrumbs, chopped and sauteed onion, garlic and form it all into a
pattie. Then you can either dip the pattie into panko crumbs and fry or
leave as is and either bake or sautee. Anything goes (but it all kind of
tastes the same); can also be done with tuna.

To me they are croquettes if made from canned salmon... made from fresh salmon
they're salmon cakes. Croquettes are okay but I much prefer grinding my own
salmon and making cakes.... sometimes I use fresh ground salmon to make salmon
loaf. Naturally with salmon you want a mild sauce, perhaps a bit of white
pepper and dillweed, a simple white sauce, garnished with pistachios and
chopped hard egg yolk.

Interesting. I always consider croquettes to be made from a finely chopped
meat/vegetable mixture, bound with bechamel, then rolled in fresh bread crumbs
and fried or baked.

Cakes or patties, are coarsely shredded meat or seafood, with some sauteed
vegies and bread/cracker crumbs, bound lightly with egg and pan sauteed.

Actually, I think this more accurately describes what I was thinking of as a
croquette. I had a recipe years ago for chicken croquettes which called for
the chopped chicken to be mixed with a bechamel, among other things. I
recall they were very, very moist when formed into oval cakes. They were
also topped with a sauce after baking.

My old-timey salmon croquette recipe has a bechamel as binder (along
with very fine dry bread crumbs) - rolled in egg & fine cracker crumbs
and deep fried. I shape them by hand (messy, but effective).

I tend to differentiate by cooking method and shape. Patties are
flatter - like a thick pancake - croquettes are like a thick cone
shape, squared off on the ends. Patties are sauteed in a little
butter/oil - croquettes are deep fried.

I imagine interpretations differ.

A patty is just a patty.... no matter what is in it or on
it. <G> They have to be ovals made by using two spoons.

Oh I know they are easy... I'm interested in your recipes. See, the one I
love is a bit unconventional. Rather than crackers or breadcrumbs it calls
for crushed up corn chips or tortilla chips. Sour cream instead of mayo.

Although these are fried in oil, the amount of oil used is truly up to
each person. I use minimal oil and non-stick surface. They are the
"house" patties. It helps to have a steady supply of fresh salmon in our
neighborhood.

Pan-Fried Fresh Salmon Cakes

Recipe By : Cooks Illustrated
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Dinner Fish
Lunch Main Dish
Sandwich Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 pounds salmon fillet
1 slice high-quality white sandwich bread -- such as
Pepperidge
Farm,
crusts removed and white part chopped
very fine (about 5 tablespoons)
2 T mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely grated onion
2 T. chopped fresh parsley leaves
3/4 t salt
1 1/2 T. juice from 1 lemon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 t. plus ½ vegetable oil
1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs -- preferably panko

1. Locate and remove any pin bones from salmon flesh. Using sharp
knife, cut flesh off skin, then discard skin. Chop salmon flesh into
1/4 to 1/3-inch pieces and mix with chopped bread, mayonnaise, onion,
parsley, salt, and lemon juice in medium bowl. Scoop a generous 1/4-cup
portion salmon mixture from bowl and use hands to form into a patty
measuring roughly 2-1/2 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick; place on
parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining salmon mixture
until you have 8 patties. Place patties in freezer until surface
moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, spread flour in pie plate or shallow baking dish. Beat
eggs with 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1-1/2 teaspoons water in
second pie plate or shallow baking dish, and spread bread crumbs in a
third. Dip chilled salmon patties in flour to cover; shake off excess.
Transfer to beaten egg and, using slotted spatula, turn to coat; let
excess drip off. Transfer to bread crumbs; shake pan to coat patties
completely. Return now-breaded patties to baking sheet.

3. Heat remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in large, heavy-bottomed skillet
over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 3 minutes;
add salmon patties and cook until medium golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Flip cakes over and continue cooking until medium golden brown on second
side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer cakes to plate lined with paper
towels to absorb excess oil on surface, if desired, about 30 seconds,
and then serve immediately, with the creamy lemon herb dipping sauce, if
you like.


Creamy Lemon Herb Dipping Sauce
Makes generous 1/2 cup

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2-1/2 T. juice from 1 lemon
1 T. minced fresh parsley leave
1 T. minced fresh thyme leaves
1 large scallion, white and green part, minced
1/2 t. salt
Ground black pepper


Mix all ingredients in small bowl; season to taste with ground black
pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until flavors blend, at least
30 minutes.






- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

NOTES : The key is the use of fresh, chopped salmon…and not overcooking the
cakes. A big wedge of lemon is the simplest accompaniment to salmon
cakes, but
if you decide to go with dipping sauce, make it before preparing the
cakes so the sauce flavors have time to meld. If possible, use panko
(Japanese bread crumbs).

I have some frozen salmon fillets from when I ordered the 'cedar planked'
kit, which I still haven't used BTW. I did order extra salmon. Can't get
fresh salmon in Memphis, only frozen or canned.

Thanks for the recipe, Alan... sounds like one to save

Top posting to "preserve" the recipe. I never would have thought of
leftover mashed potatoes - I will have to try that, thanks Helen. I usually
just make mashed potato pancakes from leftover mashed 'taters or use them as
a topping to a cottage pie

My hubby is more British than I. He would use leftovers for all that, but,
I don't like the taste of reheated cold mashed potatoes, so he gets them
all. ; ))

Apparently I'm more British (Scots) than I am American... I love a good
cottage pie and mashed potato pancakes. I don't eat cold mashed potatoes,
but my mom (Christina Douglas Brown McQuown) does!

I suppose I'm more Scots than English, but If I can help it I don't eat
leftover potatoes. Even for hash browns I'll nuke a potato in the oven
first but not use cold ones.

Jill, you will probably get a dozen different ways to make salmon patties,
Mine are pretty standard, but I make sure to use left-- over fresh salmon ,
not the canned stuff and plenty of parsley, chopped red onion, little dab of
mayo,an egg, salt and pepper, flour them . let them sit awhile then saute in
a little olive oil.
