Directions

  1. 1
    Mash salmon, bones and all, in a bowl with a fork.

  3. 3
    Blend well.

    Crush soda crackers and add to the salmon, mixing well.

Thanks for sharing. I used fresh salmon instead of can. Pan fried it and added some salt and pepper to it. I also added garlic, green pepper and green onion. Instead of frying I bake them in an oven at 375 for 15 minutes. Tasty

    These were great. My kids loved them (including the one who doesn't eat salmon).

    Just what I was looking for! I grew up eating these and wanted something similar, but with a kick. The dill the kick I needed. I used a dill mix that also contained garlic and a few other spices. I also found out what was missing from my old recipe — the dipping in flour. I have finally figured out why mine were never as good as grandma's! My girls loved them (I told them they were patties and left out the salmon part!) Thanks for a wonderfully quick lunch!

    I'm giving this recipe 5 stars because as a basic salmon cakes recipe I don't think it can be improved. Simple, fast and yummy. I made these as is, with the exception of using finely chopped green onions instead of grated white and bread crumbs instead of cracker. I served the (4) cakes on toast with pickled jalapeƱos and mustard, roasted red potatoes and a green salad on the side. My husband commented that they taste better than the expensive stuff at restaurants. I'll take it!
