"The recipe was adapted from a recipe that I found in Best of the Best from Alaska Cookbook. These are really good and can be served with tartar sauce on the side or on a whole wheat bun."

These were great! I made substituting the oat bran for oatmeal. I fine chopped them in the blender before adding them to the mix. Worked well. Loved these burgers and will have again. I like the fact they are fairly healthy and they really taste great! Thanks for this recipe Paula! -
We loved this for a couple of reasons. This year (2008) is going to be an inflationary year, what with oil at over $100 per barrel (!) and this is an economical recipe. Also, it's delicious!! In a sense fish cakes are fish cakes, but Paula's recipe makes the most of canned salmon and is healthy as well. I did not sub anything except didn't use skim milk but 2% milk, and real eggs. We felt these were best with a glob of good real-tomato ketchup. This recipe is healthy and low-fat and highly recommended. The quantities given are perfect, and I had no need to add liquid from the cans. Thanks, Paula, for a recipe I'l use again and again. PS, 2 days later: Husband said, "Not true, I did NOT need ketchup at all!! I loved the burgers just as they were!" He used the leftover burger as a sandwich filling the day after I'd made them. Just so you know, Paula, LOL! -
Yumm! We really liked these. We didn't have rosemary, but used thyme and sage and lemon pepper instead. The flavor was yummy, however they didn't stick together very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong - they almost seemed too moist, so fried a couple of patties and then added more oat brand to the next batch - nothing seemed to work. No worries though, it was more of a crumbled salmon patty, and it was still excellent on buns with mayo. Will make again and will keep experimenting to find the perfect combination that will stick together :). -
When I saw this recipe I thought Ah!! just what I am looking for. I have had a tin of Alaskan salmon in my larder just waiting for this recipe. Everything about this recipe is healthy and so good for you I made them just as written, and I had mine with a small side salad and a little light mayonnaise. I will definitely make them again I do like tinned salmon, maybe I will have them on a bun next time. made for diabeties month November 2010 Thank you for posting.

Instead of oat bran I used seasoned bread crumbs and left out the jalapeno pepper. I used one egg to bind them together and they turned out fine.

These were delicious. I used a red bell pepper and sour orange instead of lemon juice. For whatever reason, I needed some extra oat bran. I made them a bit smaller, ended up with 10 patties. I think these would be outstanding made even smaller and served as an appetizer. -
These are great! I'm always looking for ways to get my Omega-3 requirements. I did make a couple of changes. Didn't have an egg so that was left out. I used wheat germ in place of the oat bran. I sprayed a baking dish with oil and made 4 loose patties. Bake them at 400 for 10-15 mins. Thanks for another great recipe PaulaG.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
