These were awful! I actually had to throw the leftovers away because my family would not eat them. The recipe would be good without the capers though. They made the cakes taste like a buttery pickle and are what ruined it for us. I’ll keep this recipe and not include the capers next time and see how it turns out. -
This was a GREAT BIG hit with my family and me!! The only problem I had was that it was so GOOEY... Maybe, I didn't have enough potatoes or something. I couldn't form patties and it kept sticking all over my hands. So I added some dried bread crumbs and it worked! Everybody just raved!!!! Thanks so much... I'll make this one again! (with bread crumbs:)

This is just like the salmon patties that my mother made when I was a kid - and didn't like fish! I halved the recipe with no problems, peeled the potato before cooking & mashed it while still hot. Next time I will chop the veggies fairly fine. Thanx Evelyn! -

Great recipe.I had salmon leftover that we grilled but I'm sure the canned salmon would work just as well.It was a winner! I used Egg beater and made them in the morning and let them sit in refrigerator.I dedged them with flour and used only oil to cook them. My husband told me to hang on to this recipe.I made this for WT3; thanks for posting. Rita -
I have never put the potato in with my salmon cakes before, but I do with cod, so I went ahead with the recipe leaving out the capers( family thing). Everything turned out great. We served this with a fresh salad for our supper. Will make again. Thanks for the new recipe.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
