Old School Salmon Patties

[vexed_wench]

Friday I decided to try to replicate my Granny's salmon patties. For some reason, I have been in a 1950's housewife mood. I made a shake n bake fest with double everything starches and vegs. One was green bean casserole. Thursday was liver by request.

The recipe I had was just can salmon and cream of mushroom soup. That is why I have a ton of recipes saved to try to replicate hers.

I opted for the Chicken of the Sea pink salmon in the pouch. They had me at boneless and skinless.


Old School Salmon Patties

3 pouches of salmon

onion powder

1 egg plus one yolk

bread crumbs ( I used Italian seasoned)

cooking spray

1 can of cream of mushroom soup.

empty pouches into a bowl. sprinkle heavily with onion powder. I added enough bread crumbs to just coat the fish. I added one yolk and it was still dry so added the whole egg. Mix well. I let it sit for a few minutes. I portioned out three good-sized patties. I sprayed a skillet with cooking spray and cooked until nicely browned. I sprayed the patties and flipped and cooked until the other side was browned and crispy.

I topped them with cream of mushroom soup and served them with mashed potatoes and green. beans.

That sounds really good. I've been thinking about making my Mom's recipe. It's similar, but not exact. And she always served them with fried potatoes and peas.

I bet fried potatoes and peas would be good. I hope you have success with your Mom's version.

Thank you. I've been nostalgic for her cooking.

Oh, these sound good! I've been idly considering making fish cakes and this looks like an easy first attempt.

They were easy and quick and everyone said tasty. I don't eat much fish. It seems like it would be easy to customize to your taste.
