These were really good. Salmon patties are often heavy, sodden affairs that I feel virtuous for having eaten since salmon is god for you and canned salmon is inexpensive. I loved eating these we had them week before last and are having them again next week. The veggies keeps them light and give great flavor. Do yourself and your family a favor and try these easy and delicious salmon cakes.

I thought these were terrific! Not the heavy, fish taste I associate with canned salmon patties, probably due to all the finely chopped veggies. The 15 minute bake time worked great for me but I kept the temp at 400 because my oven tends to run hot. I also let them set for about 5 minutes before I removed them from the tin and served them so they could 'set'. Will definitely make again.

Very good!

Omitted the red pepper, increased celery to 1/2 cup, no fresh garlic added, used 1/2 tsp season salt instead, and replaced lemon juice with 1 1/2 tsp of dijon mustard.

I used the recipe to make salmon croquettes in a baked fashion. They were EXCELLENT. I'd never made any before and had planned to bake salmon for dinner, but the store I was in was out of the salmon fillets that I like so I thought: how about some salmon croquettes! So I bought the ingredients I thought would need to go in them, then came home and searched for recipes. I chose this one because of the quick cook time and because it was a "baking" recipe. I doubled this recipe (because my husband eats a lot when he likes something). I didn't remove all of the skin or all of the bones from the canned salmon, just the large pieces of skin and large bones (they were breaking as soon as I mixed them with my hands so it was impossible to remove them all. I actually think the really small bones that remained helped give the croquettes some character because they added a very mild crunch) I used Stove Top stuffing mix (low sodium) i/o bread crumbs, I used 2 eggs and 1/4 cup egg substitute (=1 egg), I left out the celery and the hot pepper sauce, and added sweet vidalia onions (lots of them) and a lot more garlic because we LOVE seasonings! I also added some garlic salt, granulated garlic, paprika, and black pepper. I rolled golf sized balls and patted them flat instead of the muffin pan. I cooked them about 20 minutes which was perfect, because they were definitely still mushy after 15 minutes, and they weren't nearly overcooked when I removed them. Great recipe!

My husband I loved these. He told me it's a keeper for the recipe box!

These were easy to make. The one thing I did different was to pan fry them in Pam versus baking them and they turned out delicous. I also served them with the sauce which I liked.

Absolutely! I made it at the last minute and had to make a few substitutions and omissions. I thought for sure it was going to turn out poorly, but it was great!

I/O the can of salmon, I shredded a talapia filet.

I/O green onions, I used 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onions.

Left out the celery.

I/O minced freshed cilantro, I used a tablespoon of dried cilantro.

I made these for lunch today and they were very good. I did cook them a little too long and they were dry. I also was making Low Fat Fetticcuni and I had too many timers on and I didn't catch it. I will make again. I didn't make the sauce because I didn't have time by the time everything else was done.
