These were a little fussier than other salmon cakes I've made but very good. The garlic cream was excellent. Made for ZWT6.

Made for Zingo of ZWT6 as an appy course & combined w/Zingo Recipe #426074 as the main-course + an encore of Recipe #425179 as the finale, we celebrated the end of the Tour full & content. Icelanders revere potatoes, smoked salmon & cream sauces, so this recipe was made-to-order for us & did not disappoint. Made as written except for the addition of lemon pepper as a pers pref, the recipe yielded 12 perfect generously-sized appy patties that were easily handled & stayed intact. You are right that these are lovely cakes & the garlic cream sauce is a must. The combo is great, will be remembered as among our favourite ZWT6 tries & is certain to be shared w/our family & friends. Thx for posting this recipe for us & making the Tour even more memorable. :-)

For us these were just ok. I had some lovely smoked salmon from Portlock Salmon here in Seattle, and I felt it totally got lost in the potato. Overall I thought it need more seasoning, I added pepper but waited to add salt until I cooked them not knowing how salty the salmon would be; we did end up adding a little but maybe some dill or old bay would be good too. The garlic cream was a bit heavy for me, I also thought it needed a little pizzaz so I added extra lemon and a fresh garlic clove. Made for ZWT 6 ZINGO by one of the Unrulies Under the Influence.

what a great recipe! I love smoked salmon and I was happy I made these and by use of the sesame seeds and skipping the breadcrumbs I was able to make them gfree. I made them quick and served on top of salad but I will definitely make again and get a pic. This is a keeper and like I said works well gfree :) Made for ZWT 6 for Looney Spoon Phoodies.

Wow! Potato cakes I've made before. I've made tuna patties. This recipe is to those as Cadillacs are to Yugos! And don't let me even start on the garlic cream! This was made as a light dinner tonight with Recipe #172016. Absolute heaven! Thnx, so much, for sharing your lovely recipe, Lindsey. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds of ZWT 6.
