I used to make salmon patties using cornmeal and bread crumbs; however, my daughter didn't care for them at all and would only eat them covered with ketchup! But she can't get enough of these salmon cakes! She LOVES them and do we all! They are so good. This is a meal that we have often and there is always salmon on hand in the cupboard. The patties I used to make were a once in a while thing, but the salmon cakes are a must!
I have simplified the recipe somewhat by using real bacon bits for the bacon and minced dehydrated onion, just to make it go a little faster in the kitchen. I don't think that the flavor is compromised and I still have to double the recipe so every gets their fill! Thanks so much!!!

We really enjoyed this recipe. The salmon cakes had an almost creamy texture but with a nice brown crunchy outside. I read several reviews before making these and I agree you can cut back on the 1/2 cup mayo that is specified in the recipe to about 1/4 to 1/3 cup. I used panko bread crumbs for the crunchy outside. I also refrigerated the mix before making the patties and they held together fine although still delicate. This recipe is for sure a keeper!

The bones in salmon are a big part of its nutrition, all that calcium. In canned salmon, the big bones are easy to find in between the chunks of fish. And you don't need to take out the little bones. Just squish them between your fingers and they dissolve into the fish. They are not hard. Get all that nutrition!

These also are great for experimenting. Add a little salsa or use salsa on top. Add a little curry, Make a little sauce with yogurt and mustard. Try stuff!

This recipe is very very tasty but the amount of mayo is definitely way off as the patties fell apart, very wet and I ended up having a salmon hash or an alternative English bubble and squeak. I would recommend combining all ingredients first and finally adding the mayo little by little until you get a firm patty that doesn't fall apart. Also I added parsley to this and changed out the onion for scallions for an even better taste.

This was a big hit with everyone in the family. It was really wet though making it hard to make the patties but maybe that is why it was so moist. My husbands only comment was it would be a better with more salmon, so the next time I make it I am going to use 2 cans of salmon which should also help dry it out a bit.

These are great! I have made a few changes though, even though the first time I made them was exactly as Melissa's recipe and they were still a great hit!! First change is I make them from fresh salmon that I roast in the oven first with salt, pepper, mustard and lemon juice. Another change is that I use turkey bacon for health reasons. Last time however, I was out of any bacon but had sliced smoked honey ham. I cut it up in tiny pieces to mimic bacon and fried it up first - still very delicious!! It's now one of our favorite salmon recipes!! I serve it with rice pilaf and salad for dinner or make them smaller for appetizers for parties.

This is a great recipe, I have always made salmon cakes, but this has bump them up to the next level. They are moist and creamy and just lovely . The potato,mayo and mustard is the secret I think stretching the can the extra mile but also creating a fulling effect with a great depth of flavor. Great Recipe !!!

These were very good, it was annoying to go through the entire can to pick out all the bones, but well worth it if you have the ingredients. I only made 8 patties with this recipe, they were larger but fed three people easily. The best way to "cake" the salmon patties is to hold them in your hand and dust the breadcrumb mixture on each side, much cleaner and it makes sure that all "cracks" are sealed when you start to cook. VERY easy if you do it right and tasted delicious.

Delicious! I made these with some flash frozen wild salmon filets from a big box store that I had in the freezer. I poached the salmon, then flaked it along with the potato. A definite "go to" recipe. Loved them.
