  1. I make this recipe regularly for my family as did my mom. It's delicious and the creamed peas are a must!! I did make one change in that I don't like as many crackers in the mix...makes it a bit harder to form the pattie. I used 2 15 oz cans of salmon and one tube of crackers. Otherwise, all is the same. My 10 yo daughter was in heaven. :-) Pam
     
  2. Made these for supper tonite & they were pretty good. However, IDK how you get 8 patties out of this...I got 6. I also think it could use a little more seasoning, but then that's probably just me. <br/>I love peas...especially creamed peas....think next time I'll add a little chopped onion. <br/>THANKS for sharing!!!
     
  3. Fantastic recipe! I did leave out the poultry seasoning and used about 1 Tbs of chopped green bell pepper. I also rolled my patties in flour before frying. Turned out great! The peas was wonderful too. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
     
  4. I only had a small tuna-sized can of salmon on hand, and downsized the recipe to suit it. I found the flavor of the salmon patties to be a bit bland, and in the future will swap out the poultry seasoning and use other seasonings. The creamed peas were a success at our dinner table and very good over herbed mashed potatoes. Overall, a nice comfort food meal that can easily be adjusted to suit our tastes. Thanks for posting.
     
  5. Pretty yummy. I had a hard time getting the patties to stick together, so I added an additional egg. Also, I didn't have any poultry seasoning, so I used Chesapeake Bay seasoning. I liked using butter to cook the patties; it gave it a nice brown. I enjoyed the peas by themselves (though a little bland) but I don't think they particularly added to the patties. I served this with a side of ziti-like noodles.. I can't remember the name right now. My one year old loved this stuff. I will probably try this again, but use a different side dish.

Tweaks

  1. Instead of discarding the skin (excellent source of Omega 3's) and bones (excellent source of easily digested calcium) put both in a blender with the liquid off the salmon and add the eggs anf blend together them add to salmon and proceed with recipe. We like finely minced onion, green pepper, and or mushrooms added. Sometimes I use leftover cheese crackers or chips instead of part of the crackers. I've also used 2 regular sized cans of tuna instead of the salmon, canned mackerel works well also.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!) The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own. I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me. Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
