"Use leftover or canned salmon in this recipe. Tasty, quick and easy, economical too! Uses ingredients that we usually have on hand. We serve with buttered peas, steamed rice and a green salad."

Delicious! Definitely going to make this again. My boyfriend said it was phenomenal.

I'm giving this recipe five stars for flavor - but the patties were actually a little heavier than we prefer - will add another egg next time and maybe whip the recipe before "loosely" forming the patties. Other than the heaviness - which is personal preference - taste is excellent. We added 2 oz of chopped pimentos for color. The dill sauce was just wonderful! Will make this again. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I wanted to cook something new for dinner tonight and this recieved several "good dinner Mom" comments. The dill sauce gave it that extra touch. Thanks for sharing.

I don't usually care much for salmon patties and only make them when my husband begs nicely, but these were excellent! They have a good texture and the flavors blend together nicely. I will be making these again.
