Salmon Patties

Salmon Patties

1 large can salmon
1 onion, sliced
1 egg
1/2 to 1 cup saltine crackers
salt and pepper
butter

I remove only the larger vertebra but leave the smaller bones - they are not a problem because they are so soft. Saute onion in butter.
Add to salmon with beaten egg, salt and pepper to taste and enough saltines to just hold together. Form into small patties and saute in butter.

Can be served with tarter sauce.

Yes, this is a different version from what I've seen before, but it actually sounds interesting with the saltines in it. I'll give this one a try.

thanks 'elf

I did it 'elf and it was great....just like I remembered....except because it's been so long since I've had salmon patties, I only smothered the mashed potatoes with the creamed corn, I wanted to enjoy the taste of the patties.

I invited a friend over before we left to see a terrific band play. He and my boyfriend enjoyed them very much...the first time for both of them.

I've got leftovers for tomorrow.

Thanks

Glad you liked them princess. Like I said - it's a VERY basic recipe but it's a very traditional one. Leftovers are a "good thing" (why did I say that?? I loathe that saying!) :)

Thank you,Kitchenelf.
The salmon patties were just like my Mom used to make. They brought back many memories. Mom used to put either a cream sauce or a tomato sauce on them, which was good, also.

I'm glad you liked them essie! I never thought of a sauce like that - I bet either one of those was good. Food has a way of bringing back memories!!

Thanks sooooooooooo much kitchen elf. It looks like the same ingredients my mom used. I haven't ate these in so long. In fact I bought a can of salmon last month thinking I'd try and find a recipe that sounded like what she used to use............thanks again I can't wait to try them.


By the way I probably go way against the norm but I dip mine in ketchup

I like my salmon patties made with lots of mayo and some parsley. I like to use panko as the binder and coating.

Psiguyy....I'm curious as to how you would make them with mayo....do you fry them? Oh, and what is Panko :?
