I have some extra salmon at least a good pound that has been grilled. I would like to make Salmon Cakes this weekend. But every recipe I am finding is with canned salmon. I think the ones without the liquid I can substitute but not sure. Anyone have a good Salmon Cake recipe with non canned salmon?


Thanks

I make it with fresh the same as I make it with canned, Nyx. I precook the fresh, then flake it with a fork.


Then I just add an egg, salt, pepper and either bread crumbs or flour. Then fry in a little of some healthy oil like peanut or canola until browned on the outside. I know some people add mayo but I don't like it in mine.


My mother in law makes salmon loaf by skipping the salt and crumbling in saltine crackers.

I found this recipe



MOM’S SALMON PATTIES


1 Tblsp. olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onions

One 14-15 oz. can Alaskan pink salmon

12 saltine crackers, crushed

Freshly ground black pepper

Crisco for frying
In a small skillet, heat oil and saute onions on low heat until they are soft.


Drain salmon and remove any bones. Place salmon in a bowl and add the sauteed onions. Add the crushed saltines and a grind or two of black pepper. The saltines add enough salt for our taste. Mix together and form into 6 patties. The mixture should hold together but still be slightly moist.


Melt Crisco in a large skillet and add the patties, browning/cooking about 5 minutes on each side.


So I am assuming you discard the liquid from can and use 1 tbsp olive oil. Will that hold it all together?


And I want them to have a bit of a kick or a bam if you will was thinking of adding some cajun spice.


I was going to flake my salmon the night before and use a combo of water and olive oil to to soak it in over night (1/2 cup total). That might be close to the liquid in a can.


Adding an egg instead during cooking might just be the solution.

I don't use the liquid in the can at all, Nyxxie. I add one egg to keep it all together. Salmon patties don't need to be wet, they just need a binding agent like egg.

that is what I am trying the egg


Thanks for the tips <3

Made this Sunday


I used Mom's Recipe (above) with left over grilled salmon steaks flaked (I believe there was more than a 1lb there) 1 egg and a tsp of cajun spice added. They turned out really good (needed more of a cajun spice and with that much salmon probably 2 eggs).


We had deep fried french fries and deep fried batter dipped fresh garden zucchini. Was a very easy meal to fix and delicious!

My mother made them this way, it has a Southern flair.


Salmon, minced onion, flour, corn meal, egg, salt.


1 can of salmon

1/2 onion, minced.

2 T flour

1 T corn meal <-Southern flair

1 egg

salt to taste.


I added a can of minced clams.


Mix it all up, form into patties, and pan fry in some oil.
