Salmon Cakes
"These salmon cakes are delicious as a light lunch or dinner and can also be served as appetizers. This is from an advertisement for Chicken of the Sea salmon. I have also made this with canned chicken instead of salmon with great results."

This is a very nice salmon pattie. I made a couple of minor changes to suit my tastes. I subbed white onions for the green & sauteed them briefly with the red pepper. I also added the zest of half a lemon. This recipe goes together very easily & has a real nice flavor (I highly recommend the zest for a stronger lemon flavor). -
Very tasty, I used an additonal 8 oz of salmon (as I had it to use) without increasing the other ingredients. I also used Old Bay as my "seasoned salt" as it is a staple in seasoning MD seafood, and jarred roasted sweet red pepper. We enjoyed these a lot, thanks for sharing. -
great dinner! I adjusted the recipe to what was on hand and it still worked out great. I used lime instead of lemon, olive oil instead of butter and old bay instead of cayenne. To add more zest I added fresh garlic, and celery. I also dusted them with flour to help with browning. This recipe allows for the cook to be creative if he/she still follows the basic steps. -
Such an easy recipe, but very tasty. The only change I made was to add a touch of Old Bay seasoning, as I use this seasoning to taste in just about all my seafood recipes. Thanks for the posting, Chris!

Great recipe to start with. I needed to use leftover baked salmon, etc. I used raw sweet onion, my pepper giardiniera ferment, cerlery, otherwise similar recipe. Also left out the coating. It turned out yummy, with or without tarter.

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
