  1. My husband suggested I make something different this Friday, so followed the recipe as written. The texture was lovely, crisy outside and tender inside, but I thought the flavor was a little bland. I will make it again, but I think I'll add a little dijon mustard to the mix for a little zip. It was a nice balance with the roasted garlic mashed potatoes and salad
     
  2. I love this recipe! My husband and two young sons can't get enough of it either. I've made them twice now, once with canned salmon and once with fresh. It was great both times although I found you need more bread crumbs with the canned salmon. I omitted the celery due to an allergy but otherwise made them as written. Our families new favourite!
     
  3. Very flavorful! This beats fish sticks from the box any day of the week. And so easy to make as well. This has taken place of frozen fish sticks night! Thank you for something tastey and easy!
     
  4. These were crispy on the outside and had a nice flavor from the grated onion and celery. I even tried my best on grating the celery. I thought they were easy and fast to make. Best yet all the daycare childern liked them. So, so long store bought fish sticks, it is Chrissyo's Salmon Rissoles from now on!! Chrissyo, thank you for a great recipe.
     
  5. Another recipe of my mum's Chris. Another recipe I was about to post for my daughter, this will go into ‘favourites’ too for her to access. Mum didn't use celery and she rolled them in flour not breadcrumbs but everything else is spot on. So many salmon rissoles have mashed potato in them and we never made them like that so it is so good to find this recipe just the way we luv them. I actually make them frequently for Ross. Thanks for another great one Chris, Glen.
