Kittencal's Salmon Cakes/Patties

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Plan ahead the salmon mixture needs to be chilled for 2 hours before shaping, this also work using cooked leftover fresh salmon --- for the very best flavor do not use all pink salmon use all red or half red and pink --- I have this yielding for 12 patties that amount is only a guideline it wil depend on the size you make the patties you may make them any size desired, if you have a large family to feed using one more can of salmon won't hurt --- these are just as delicious eaten cold in fact my family prefers them cold :)"

Wonderful flavor! I loved these tasty little cakes! Thanks, Kitten! I can always count on your recipes to be great.

I love salmon cakes! They always bring me back to my childhood -- and that's a good thing! I thought about cutting the recipe in half but decided against it. I made all the patties and froze half of them for another day. We had these with Recipe #381370. Absolutely delicious! Thanks Kitt! Another recipe to go into make this often file!

I don't even particularly like salmon patties and these were great. I used fresh salmon.

SO delicious. I made these exactly to the recipe and wouldn't want to change a thing. Loved the lemon juice and the green onions in these patties! The three eggs - I'd never have dared to add so many had the recipe not specified three eggs! - meant that they stayed in shape perfectly! Because they are so good cold, I shall be making them often both as a great hot weather dish and for yummy take-to-work lunches. We enjoyed these both warm and cold with KITTENCAL's Recipe #160719 and I'd have to agree they were particularly flavoursome cold. Thank you for sharing another super recipe, KITTENCAL.
