Used fresh salmon that I pulsed in the food processor then mixed with the ingredients. Chilled the salmon cakes for 20 minutes and placed in an oiled cast iron skillet and baked at 375 degrees for 10 minutes per side. Excellent.
We loved them. Made according to recipes with no substitutions. Will definitely make again.
Amazing.
These were sooo good. Salmon had great flavor, best I've made so far. I did add more mustard and will add more old bay the next time I make this meal.
I made the patties according to the directions but cooked them in my air fryer. I served them with a yogurt dill sauce - they were scrumptious! I will definitely make this recipe again.
Didn't make any changes. This was good but I def think I'd add more spices to it, not as much of a kick in flavor like i thought. I'd also add lemon to kick up the salmon flavor. Other than that I'd make it again just some adjustments.
Magnificent! My Grandmother-in-law (who came over on the Lusitania) just called them "fish cakes" Since she never wrote down her recipes, I've been searching for one that comes close. This IS it! I WILL be making these again. No changes needed.
I haven't tried this yet. An interesting egg alternative (though veg oil would work fine as suggested)I found is something called a "Flax Egg". I might try that for grins. 1 Tbsp Flax Meal and 2.5 Tbsp water. Oil would probably be better, but I like to try new things...until I find they're scrap.
I love, love these salmon cakes! I am not a big fish fan, but will eat salmon. Most salmon cakes I have to drench in sauce so I like them, but these I didn't I could eat them plain! So flavorful and didn't have any fishy taste. And it's a super easy recipe to double or triple!
This was a little different from my usual salmon patties but did not disappoint. There are only 2 of us so I did cut the recipe in half, didn't have a green onion so swapped it out with a shallot and could not find seafood seasoning so just left it out. It was still a great recipe, held their shape and had a nice crunch from the panko bread crumbs. Served with a salad made a nice light supper for a hot summer night.
Didn't change a thing and these were the best I have ever made. I got so many compliments.
I called them crabby patties and let my kids help me mix them up. We all liked them. I used cracker crumbs and less Old Bay, they were really good.
I didn't have Italian spiced Panko so I threw in a bit of Italian seasoning. Also, I couldn't find Old Bay seasoning so I went online and found the simplest recipe I could find for making my own. I used canned Sockeye salmon. It turned out great - a very nice blend of spices and the cakes held together well. I would definitely make this recipe again.
I cooked these last night for dinner. They`re right on the money! Delilcious, and a good flavor blend. Also very easy and quick. Thanks for the recipe!
Good and easy. I halved the recipe and served only one patty each. Plenty of food with a side dish or two. Warmed the other two for lunch the next day.
didn't change most of it but didn't have any Worcestershire sauce so I used Maggie sauce they were great. Husband don't care for salmon patties but thought they were great. Will make them again.
If I can get my finicky son to eat these, they're a winner. Easily adaptable if you don't have all ingredients. As long as you have the "bones" of the recipe (no pun intended), they are perfect. Add what you have that makes sense. Now in rotation at my house. TIP: it is, as others may have said, a bit easier to handle these if you make ahead, even a little, and refrigerate the patties.
Great recipe! Turned out as described. Have already made twice and did slightly decrease seasoning to taste!
I loved these. If you like salmon you will love these. I will admit I didn't have the Dijon mustard so used half as much with regular mustard. These are so much better than basic salmon patties and I would be proud to serve them to company
Pretty good - I used leftover salmon from the night before, so this is not specifically a review of this recipe, but what I made was based on this recipe. First, my wife had made 2 lbs of cooked salmon the night before. She cooked fresh salmon in the oven (18 minutes at 425oF), seasoned with Old Bay (we both were born and raised in Bawlmer, so of course!), butter and fresh squeezed lemon. We are new almost empty nesters, so we cook as if there is still a house full of hungry teenage boys. I used the 1 lbs of leftover salmon, and pretty much made to recipe with the exception of mayo instead of salad dressing/Miracle Whip. Instead of pan frying, I broiled the cakes 7 minutes a side (I made 6 big cakes although I could have made 8 smaller ones). The only change we will make next time is backing off on the Worcestershire sauce as it was a little salty, most likely due to the fact we used Old Bay the night before. Made some homemade tartar and cocktail sauce for the side...overall, this is one we will make again - thanks!
Just made these for breakfast, served w/ english muffin bread, and 2 over easy eggs on top. OH MY!! Very good. Thanks for the recipe.
I had some left over salmon that I had grilled the day before, so I decided to make salmon patties. I followed the recipe exactly except I used Zatarain's Creole Mustard instead of Dijon. I have to say these are probably the best dal
Omitted scallions, used plain Panko bread crumbs, plain mayo, and added lemon juice to the mixture. Those were the only (very minor) changes. My only complaint was that 8 patties (2 batches) took close to 40 mins. to cook. They just did not want to cook, and I was afraid if I turned the heat up they would burn on the outside and not cook in the middle. I used plenty of oil (and butter), but they stuck to the pan slightly after being in the pan for so long. I put a lid on the second batch which cut down on the cook time. Luckily, they were worth the wait; hubby and I both loved them. I made a tartar sauce to go with, and he put his on a hamburger bun. Next time, I think I will make smaller patties (3 batches), with just a few larger ones for my husband to put on buns.
LOVED the flavor......Yummy..... I replaced the fish flavoring and pepper with Lemon Pepper seasoning. Worked great ! FYI....Make 8 patties, so they don't break when flipped.
Making this tomorrow, but I couldn't find the Bay seasoning. Is there something else I can use instead?
I used regular Panko bread crumbs as suggested in the magazine and we loved it! Will definitely make these again!
Aside from the seafood seasoning which I didn't have on hand, this recipe is 'excellent'. Have made it a few times now, and perfect every time!! Thanks for the recipe!! :)
Delish! I also downsized the black pepper amount because I'm feeding kids but good flavor otherwise! I like them dipped in Dijon mustard
Just delicious!!! Didn't change the recipe at all; just reduced the servings to four (4). Quick, easy and delicious dinner. Simple to pull together. Will definitely make again!
A bit spicy but very good. So easy! Will make again. I added a bit of cornmeal to the outside before frying, the crunch was great!
Delicious. We used leftover grilled salmon and Tony's Creole seasoning because that's what I had on hand, and toned down the amount of that and pepper because my family doesn't like so much kick. Very good!
Thank you, thank you, thank you !! This recipe was delish and I will forever use yours!! Perfect balance of flavors. Highly recommend!!!
This recipe is hands down the best for this Maryland family, I wouldn't change a thing!!
Husband loves salmon cakes, and he really liked this recipe. Even though I halved this dish, still needed two eggs.
I used left over grilled salmon and substituted the green onions for sweet because that is what I had on hand. It came out great and I will make again!
I halved the recipe and it made 4 large patties, full of flavour so filling would recommend absolutely
I'm glad I came across this recipe, and I had everything on hand except green onion. I substituted 1/2 small white onion instead. This was very good, and my hb (who doesn't like salmon) ate two servings. I added 1TBSP butter to the olive oil as another reviewer suggested and liked the result. I will definitely be adding this to my quick dinner rotation. Thank you for sharing!
Very good. Used 2 tins (7oz) and made 4 patties. Served with sautéed mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. Didn't have Panko so just used fine bread crumbs.
I reduced the amount of Worcestershire sauce thinking it may make the mixture a little too salty, other wise changed nothing else. Very tasty and enjoyed by all, will definitely make them again
I made these salmon cakes today for lunch and they turned out delicious. I used all of the ingredients listed except the green onion which I didn't have on hand. I thought the flavor of the patty was perfectly well balanced . I didn't think it was too spicy but I only eyeballed the red pepper flakes to my taste. I let mine sit in the fridge for a few minutes before cooking. They turned out really crispy and flavorful.
Great recipe and it has become one of my go-to recipes when I didn't know what to cook! Would have gave 5 stars except the Prep time was way more than 15 minutes, more like 30. I did not have green onions so I substituted shallots instead a few times. Also I add a few shakes of Tabasco sauce and have substituted Asagio cheese when I did not have Parmesan. Nix on the creamy salad dressing as did not see the point of it. All in all, my family loves this recipe. I serve it with Blackeye peas and rice and whatever veggies I have on hand or a salad and of o course, homemade tartar sauce.
Made 1/2 recipe and it made 4 nice size patties. I used mayonnaise and added lemon juice. My husband was hesitant to try these since my old recipe for salmon patties were very dry.These were the moistest salmon patties we ever had.Made the lemon sauce as recommended by some people. Definitely will make again.
I did not have green onions so I substituted a half onion. My panko was unseasoned and I added one T. salt free Italian seasoning along with the parsley. It was delicious.
Followed recipe exactly but first grilled fresh salmon and then added 14.2 oz. this only made 5 salmon cakes that I lightly sprayed both sides with olive oil and cooked on outdoor electric grill. They got nice grill marks bit were very dry
My husband wanted this because my MIL made it when he was a kid. However, this recipe is way more involved than what she made. I called her and she used inexpensive canned tuna, onion, egg, black pepper, and crushed saltine crackers - nothing else. I kept her on the phone as I tried her recipe and they really were actually much better and a lot easier to make.
We used fresh New Zealand salmon and served it with fresh dill sauce. We also used fresh dill instead of the parsley. It was spectacular!
Very good recipe but, due to "user error," was a bit salty, as I'd used leftover salmon. I used crushed UNSALTED soda crackers (maybe 1 c. total, as I had a fair amount of salmon), 1 tsp. Old Bay, replaced the black pepper with only about 1/2 tsp. of white pepper, and added onion powder (my daughter is suspicious of anything with the texture of chopped onions). These were really moist and flavorful and held together perfectly; I made & shaped them then stuck them in the fridge for about 30 minutes. I'll happily make this recipe again, being mindful of the salt level on my salmon and adjusting accordingly.
This was great; I could not stop eating it. I left out green pepper, would have added red pepper had I had one. Added about 1/2 a cop of Parmesan cheese to recipe. I am always looking for cheaper fish dishes, and while canned salmon has increased in price, it's still a good deal. My husband calls it, "the only endangered species in a can."
Added more old bay & added some lemon juice. These were wonderfully flavorful. Shared half of them with my girl friend & her hubby. Will make again
Loved it - I made it with fresh salmon and plain breadcrumbs. I ground the salmon using an extension with my kitchenaid. I loved and will definitely make them again.
Wonderful recipe. Easy to follow directions and the result is delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
I loved these and they were a snap to make. I topped them with Sriracha Aioli and wow - of course, obviously I like spices. My daughter thought them a bit spicy, which I actually figured she would. She prefers less intensity. The Italian crumbs did have a fairly large salt dosage, so might change that the next time around....which will be soon! Still doesn't change how good this recipe is. Thank you!
OMG! This is delicious! The only thing I did different is I used leftover grilled salmon! Oh, I did add a sprinkle of Slap Yo Mama seasoning for a little more kick! My husband said these were good enough to be served in a restaurant!
My husband doesn't really like most fish..only deep fried battered cod, which isn't exactly healthy. He tolerates salmon steaks or filets, but they sure aren't his favorite. THIS recipe had him saying he would eat it once a week! I make a yogurt/chopped cucumbers sauce tO go with it, and he gobbles it up! Hooray for a great recipe!
Great! I would omit the Worcestershire sauce and replace with tablespoon of minced capers. I used 3 green onions and may add a bit of minced garlic. Otherwise great recipe!
I gave this recipe only 3 stars because the preparation was a nightmare! I spent 1 miserable hour picking out skin, bones, & vertebra from the canned salmon. I never used canned salmon before so I had no idea there would be that many bones. Some friends say you can eat those bones but that is unappealing to me. To the more experienced cooks out there..is there a canned salmon without the bones? can I use fresh salmon? In the end, I would have given a 5 star rating on taste because everybody enjoyed the delicious salmon patties. Bottom line: I would make them again if the preparation wasn't so laborious.
Kids and adult approved. Make about once monthly. Kids often request because they like it so much. I make exactly how recipe says.
I halved the recipe because I only had one can of salmon. Omitted the green onions because I didn't have any. This was an excellent recipe. Will definitely make again.
Really good, tasty recipe. I really enjoyed this one.. My Baby Sis did as well...
Excellent recipe! My mother said she hates Salmon cakes so I tried this recipe and she loved it (or at least didn't complain!)
Excellent! Just made this for a cold winter's day lunch. The spice I used was Potlatch from Williams and Sonoma. I omitted the black pepper because I have a very sensitive mouth due to radiation treatment. I also omitted the mustard as it just didn't sound alike an ingredient that would blend well with the others. The result was delicious! I like the addition of the Worchestershire sauce.
Probably the best salmon cake recipe I've tried. The entire family loved it as did my son's friends. Definitely a keeper!!
I made this recipe and it was delicious. I made 4 servings and folowed the recipe exactly as written. I loved the flavors and will definately use this recipe again!
Didn't change a thing and these were the best I have ever made. I got so many compliments.
Fantastic recipe! I did make a few changes, I used white onion minced finely instead of the green onion, and dried parsley in place of fresh I also substituted nonfat Greek yogurt in place of the mayo/miracle whip. They were delicious on brioche buns with a bit of tartar sauce!
Tasted great didn't have the breadcrumbs so I used potato chips crushed and fried them with sunflower oil great go to recipe everything you need is already in the kitchen add what you want substitute to your liking
Made this according to the recipe, it was a big hit! Only thing I did different was that I made them into balls and cooked them on the stove top in my aebleschiver cast iron pan. Recipe made 10 balls.
The only thing I would change is to use half the amount of Old Bay seasoning. As another reviewer noted, this is overly spicy and for me also overly salty—both no doubt to Old Bay. I don’t shy from very spicy food but in this case it totally overpowers the flavor of the salmon—there could be anything in there—I want to taste salmon.
My stepdaughter, who loves crab cakes, but does not like fish, loved this recipe. It's a winner and very easy to make. I browned them for 6 minutes each side and they came out perfect. I used regular yellow mustard in place of dijon mustard and it was fine. This will be made again and again.
Very good, added a splash of lemon juice, 1 tsp dill weed, 1 tsp dried onion flakes to mix. Baked at 375 for approx 20 - 25 minutes, turning once.
Made this pretty much exactly like the recipe, except for the salad dressing. Used leftover marinated grilled salmon for this recipe and it turned out great. I'm a new fish eater, so this was a big thumbs up! No changes other than no salad dressing since the fish was marinated with oil before grilling. Other than that, I used a chipotle asiago dressing at serving. Will do this again!
Made 1/2 the recipe for the 1st time today, pretty much (I think) as per the recipe. I used homemade Old Bay spice and a couple of green onions but otherwise followed as written. Loved the outcome. Very tasty and just the right amount of spice for me. I’ve never had real Old Bay so I can’t compare but for me it was a tasty balance of flavour and will definitely make again. Thanks for posting!
I halved the recipe and I got 6 large patties. More than enough for just my husband and I. I also added some sautéed minced celery, red bell pepper and onion to the mixture. Served it with a nice salad.
I didn’t have panko so I substituted saltines. Everything else was per the recipe. I halved the recipe and got 4 patties. Seriously delicious. I put it on a bun the next day with hot sauce. Dear Lord. Soooooo good.
This cakes were not great - just ok. Too many extra flavours like parmesan and dijon and too strong doses of worstershire, black pepper and dijon mustard. I like them plainer than this. These tasted overprocessed - we could hardly taste the fish.
