Salmon Patties With Seasoned Mayo

"Very nice salmon patties (my own). The list of ingredients are mostly seasonings you will have at hand. Canned salmon and tuna can be quite bland unless well seasoned. Do use a tangy mayonnaise and not low-fat!"

directions

  • Whisk together the ingredients for the mayonnaise, and taste. Note that I used a wasabi sauce, not the tube. Wasabi from a tube might be stronger, so use less. Put in a small jug, cover and keep in fridge.
  • Crush the salmon in a roomy bowl, then add all the ingredients, EXCEPT keep out 1/4 cup cornflake crumbs, and don't add the eggs yet. Mix ingredients lightly while you add them.
  • Add the eggs, and fold the mixture over and over until very well mixed. You can make this mixture ahead of time and keep in the fridge -- it helps to develop the flavour.
  • If possible, use a nonstick pan for frying -- saves so much battle with possible sticking! Heat the pan over high heat, add a film of oil, and heat that well.
  • Form patties about the size of your palm, and lightly pat on some of the 1/4 cup cup crumbs you kept out.
  • Fry in batches over medium heat until one side is deep golden brown, then flip over. You will need more oil as you fry them.
  • I got 10 patties from this recipe. A serving might be 2 or 3, while a small kid will only have 1, so number of servings are up to you to decide!
  • Serve hot, with the cold prepared mayonnaise. With a filling, healthy salad this is a dinner.

  1. Can I use lemon extract in place of lemon zest? If so, how much for this recipe?

  1. These were just divine, I have lots of salmon fish cake and patty recipes that I make, most of them old family recipes, but these were great mainly due to the mix of ingredients........we both loved the melange of flavours which gave the patties a piquant taste and lovely texture. But, the star of this recipe is most definitely the wasabi mayonnaise, which was just DIVINE! I didn't have any wasabi sauce, so I used some wasabi paste, but less of it. I halved the recipe as there was only the two of us, and the recipe yielded 6 patties - we had 3 patties each served with masses of salad with grated carrot. The perfect lunch for a lazy almost spring like January Sunday. Made for Zurie's cook-a-thon in memory of her beloved Gideon.
     
  2. Ugh, so delicious. I live alone so I made a serving for 2 and ate it all for myself! I'm almost sad I didn't make more because I want seconds! The serving for 2 made about 3-4 patties, palm sized, with one salmon filet. <br/>GREAT recipe.
     
  3. I love salmon patties and the sauce on these is fantastic. I was running short of time and did not allow these to rest in the refrigerator and I do think they would have been much better. Also, thank you for the corn flake idea. I crumbled corn flakes into the mix and used in place of the breadcrumbs. Thanks much for sharing the recipe.
     
  4. Wow, what a fantastic recipe for salmon patties. I made this as written except that I had wasabi in a tube, so I cut the amount in half. It's so easy that this would be a perfect dish to get the kids to make. I got 8 patties and dry-fried them on a non-stick griddle. The mayo is divine and the kind of sauce I'll make for other uses. Thanks so much for posting.
     
  5. This is definately a keeper for me...going into my Favorites of 2014. I made the recipe as written only cutting it in half for DH and I and adding some panko along with the cornflakes crumbs (which I have never used before in salmon patties) to coat the outside of the patties. I did use just cornflake crumbs for the patties themselves. I did let them sit in the fridge for a couple of hours but all DH could do was say "yummmmmm". I served these with a green salad using your recipe#484426#484426. Both keepers. Thank you for posting. Made in memory of Zurie's DH cook-a-thon.

Just remember that no recipe is ever cast in stone -- adjust to your taste! The photo was taken at a rustic seaside restaurant on our West Coast, approx 1 year ago (2016).
