Susan's Salmon Patties image

Growing up, I wouldn't touch salmon. But now it's one of my favorite fish. This is a great switch from the grilled salmon that is so popular today. And the bake option lets you get a healthier result.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large cans salmon, drained and mashed
*OR* about 3 cups cooked mashed salmon
1/2 c mayonnaise, any type, even fat free works
1 egg
1/2 c chopped celery and onion combined
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste)
1/2 tsp paprika
1 to 1 1/2 c dry cornbread stuffing (like pepperidge farm)
buttermilk if needed
1 c seasoned flour, breadcrumbs, or cornmeal
oil for frying or greasing the baking pan

Steps:

  • 1. Mash salmon well with a fork. You can remove bones first, but I leave them in. Stir in all ingredients except the stuffing, buttermilk, and seasoned flour. Mix well.
  • 2. Fold in one cup of the stuffing and blend well. If it looks too wet, add more stuffing. If it looks too dry, add a little buttermilk until you get a semi-wet paste that can be shaped into patties. Make patties or flattened balls about 2-1/2" in diameter.
  • 3. There are two ways you can cook these, either frying or baking.
  • 4. 1) to fry: Roll the patties lightly in the flour, breadcrumbs, or cornmeal. Heat oil over medium high heat in a heavy skillet. Fry quickly on each side until nice and brown. You may have to adjust heat down to prevent burning. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven.
  • 5. 2) to bake: Roll lightly in flour, breadcrumbs, or cornmeal. Grease a baking sheet well with oil. Place patties on baking sheet about 1 inch apart, and bake at 425 degrees about 15-20 minutes, turning once, until nicely browned.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used flax eggs instead. The patties still held together well.

I didn't have any salmon, so I used tilapia instead. The patties still turned out great.

These patties were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I really enjoyed these patties. They were very flavorful and had a nice texture.

These patties were delicious! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs, and they came out perfectly crispy.

I love salmon patties, and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The patties were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the flavor was perfect.
