Recipe: Salmon Patties

Sharing is caring!

Normally, I don’t actually eat seafood. I certainly don’t eat it in the whole form as served up in restaurants. The only way I eat seafood is if it is tuna packed in water in a can or salmon packed in a foil pouch. I used to eat salmon from a can, but now that kid number 2 has left home and is not willing to come over just to get the bones and skin out of canned salmon, I prefer to buy it in pouches. Yes, it IS more expensive, but I am worth it and besides, we just don’t eat it very often maybe three or four times a year.

Now I know the gourmet chefs in the group are going to judge this as not the right way to make salmon patties, but don’t judge, please. This is the way my mother always made them when I was growing up and it is one of only two ways that seafood of any kind enters my body. It probably is the way it is because we grew up eating what was cheap.

Here is my mother’s original recipe:

Salmon Patties
1 #303 can Salmon (Alaska Red Sockeye)
1/3 cup Open Pit Original BBQ Sauce
1 large Egg
¼ lb Saltine Crackers

Drain juice and remove backbone from salmon.  Mix all ingredients together, and form into patties.  Brown patties in a little oil in skillet.  Makes about 9 (3 inch) patties.  Refrigerate leftovers.  These are very good cold too. (An Eva Perkins Lauerman Original Recipe)

 

Here is the revised recipe using pouches instead of cans. I also figured out all the nutritional info using the MyFitnessPal app.

Salmon Patties
Chicken of the Sea – Chuck Style Pink Salmon Skinless Boneless, 4 pouches (5 oz drained ea.)
Open Pit – Original BBQ Sauce, 2/3 cup (34g)
Saltine Crackers – ½ lb.=2 tubes (150 crackers (15g) ea.)
Egg, Large – 2 large egg (50g)

Mix all ingredients together, and form into patties.  Brown patties in a little oil in skillet.  Makes about 9 (3 inch) patties.  Refrigerate leftovers.  These are very good cold too.

If you decide to give either of these recipes a try, and they are both basically the same really, please let me know if you enjoyed them in the comments below. If you have a recipe that is better that you think I should try, please feel free to also leave that in the comments or email it to me. Maybe I will give it a try.

Interesting fact, WordPress tells me this is my 300th post on this particular blog. Where has the time gone? It has been almost 3 years since I took the plunge and bought the domain name. What do you think? Should I renew the domain name and keep blogging?
