According to the family, borderline fish eaters, and the head cook and bottle washer who is a confirmed fish hater, this was the best d@mned fish we ever had. Looks like Salmon Patties are going into "cook often" file. Was really easy too. I took a chance and used baking powder, as listed in the ingredients. The instructions said "soda" so I wasn't sure which was a typo. The baking powder worked fine so I assume that is what you meant. Thanks for a great recipe!

I made this recipe often as a starving student in college over 30 years ago, using the cheaper pink salmon. I got the recipe from my mom, who got it from my aunt, who got it off a Crisco label. When I make it these days, I don't bother taking the skin and bones out of the canned salmon, just mush them up into the mixture. Easier and more nutritious.

This was a really great tasting recipe. I replaced the flour with five crushed saltine crackers and it added just enough salt to taste. I also added dried minced onions. I fried them in Basil Blend Canola Oil and the basil really meshed with the salmon very well. Gave it that much needed flavor. And finally I served it over corn and pablano rice. Yummy!!! This is a recipe to keep! Oh and I used baking powder, not soda. It works just fine... Jennifer

Worked for 45 years and due to company reorganization, took early retirement. Enjoying "retirement" very much and have re-discovered cooking and trying new recipes for my husband and myself. I put comments by each recipe in case I want to use it again.
When I worked the meals were hurry up types, now I spend more time in meal planning, shopping and cooking. Cooking is no longer a chore. I really enjoy Recipezaar and have emailed recipes to friends/family.
