Salmon Patties

[BreezyCooking]

Oh I agree. I've always made my salmon loaf with canned salmon, & always include any skin & bones, which are completely edible & very nutritious.

Im thinking you could make them with any crab cake recipe but using salmon.

Breezy and Mish, I'd love to have your salmon loaf recipes.

Hi Connie. Here are a few I've saved in my recipe files. I usually wind up with tuna, because I don't like the bones.

Saucy Salmon Loaf​

1 can (15 oz/426 g) pink salmon, drained (reserve broth)
2 cups soft bread crumbs (about 3 slices) 500 mL
1/4 cup finely chopped onion 50 mL
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley 75 mL
2/3 tsp dried tarragon or savory 3 mL
3 eggs
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper 1 mL
3/4 cup hot liquid (salmon broth and milk) 175 mL

Cheese Sauce
2 tbsp butter 30 mL
2 tbsp all purpose flour 30 mL
Salt, dry mustard and cayenne pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cups milk 300 mL
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar or Swiss cheese 125 mL

In a large bowl, flake salmon with a fork, crushing skin and bones. Add bread crumbs, onion, parsley and tarragon. Mix well. Place mixture in a well greased non-stick 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch (21 x 12 cm) loaf pan. Beat together eggs, salt and pepper until eggs are just blended. Stir in hot liquid. Pour over salmon mixture in loaf pan. Bake in a 350° F (180° C) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until firm. Loosen loaf with a spatula and turn out of pan.

Meanwhile, make cheese sauce. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and seasonings. Stir in milk. Cook stirring constantly until sauce thickens and comes to a boil. Cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until smooth. Serve with salmon loaf.

Thanks for the recipes, Mish. I'm going to have to try a salmon loaf soon. That's a good twist on the salmon patties also.
