I tried these tonight and they were delicious; served up with a side of Romaine with Germain yogurt dressing and Strawberry wine! They were a little annoying to keep together at first (I don’t think I drained the salmon well), but they managed to stay intact in the pan.

We have made these twice in the last few days! They are so good. I ran out of parsley so I halfed it with thyme. I added a little bit more worchester sauce as well. You could really taste all the different flavors. My almost 14 month old twins I swear breathe this suckers in. Roni you are making me experiment more in the kitchen it is having good results other than burning pots and pans a lot and cutting myself LOL. Actually, I see that you use stainless steal, how do you cook without burning everything. We have a gas stove and puts it low but stuff still sticks URRRG!

I make something really similar but with Tuna. I’ve experimented with fillers but basically it has egg, can of tuna and some bread type thing (or cracker or flour or whatever). They are SO good… I usually just squirt lime on mine. :o)

What a quick and easy idea to use canned salmon! I’ve made leftover salmon salmon cakes, which are also delish (and soooooooo nice when you have thirty seconds to make dinner)

I love salmon, and I’ve been using the “croquette” recipe on the can which uses mayo and bread crumbs. Definitely going to try your healthier version, thanks!

We call them salmon rissoles here – I grew up on the them! They usually are made with mashed potato, bread crumbs, tinned salmon, onion, 1 egg and seasoning. I replace the mashed potato with mashed sweet potato these days.
Putting the patties in the fridge for a while before cooking may help also.

I have a similar recipie from a Weight Watchers cook book and it uses instant potatoes for the ‘adhesive agent’. But they still sorta break up when you go to cook them. They’re also great to make a bunch ahead of time, freeze, and pull out when you need some (cooking them a little frozen tends to keep them together).

I made salmon cakes (patties? croquettes?) just last week. I also like to eat ketchup with mine :)

One thing I do to keep them together is use an ice cream scoop (or a disher). That way they all are even sizes — I am terrible at eyeballing.

This is similar to a tuna cake recipe I make that calls for stuffing mix as the binder. I always cut it way back and try to use whole grain mix, and it adds a nice flavor. I always grate in carrots and zucchini (sneak them in for the hubby more than for the kids!). After reading about yours, I think I’ll try it with salmon!

These look so delicious! I often use oatmeal as a binder for salmon patties. I never thought to add green pepper though, I will have to try that next time. Thanks for sharing your great ideas with us!

Great idea on the bran flakes!

YUM! I think I will be adding this to my “recipes to try”. As someone who is single and learning to cook, I love your recipes because they are simple to make and delicious!

These sound really good. I won’t laugh at the ketchup if you won’t laugh at me using thousand island dressing on them. Crushed bran flakes cereal works as a binder, too.
