Delicious! I usually use the freshest salmon available for salmon cakes, but this time I used a can of Wild Alaskan King Salmon. I was not disappointed. I did not add the seasoning salt and I used the egg whites that I had leftover from another recipe instead of a whole egg. The patties were easy to handle, firm, and had a great texture. I also used package cornflake crumbs that were already pulverized. I placed the cakes in hot oil and flipped them once. Easy as one, two, three! The sauce is a great pairing and I can see why you snagged the recipe and included it! I used homemade mayo in the sauce... ohhh sooo good! I served the salmon cakes with Emeril Lagasse's Coleslaw and Baked Potatoes With Shallot-Corn Butter (both recipes on Zaar). Thank you Pottsie! Outstanding Salmon Cakes and a perfect dinner!

I grew up on my Grandmother's Salmon cakes and now I make them for me and DH all the time. Mine never come out quite the same twice so I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm sure glad I did! They were delicious. I did not have the corn flakes so I increased the breadcrumbs but it didn't matter they were crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside. The sauce just makes these so don't leave that part out! Thanks for a great recipe its a keeper!

I am not sure what happened with these. The only changes I made in the directions were to use green bell peppers instead of the red and fresh dill for the dried. I had difficulty keeping them together and thought they needed additional breadcrumbs to bind the moist mixture together. Also, these were way to salty for us. I am sorry, I picked this recipe because I love salmon and salmon cakes are a favorite.

MAKE THESE! Crunchy and light and just a yummy sauce. I worried for a minute that they would fall apart in the pan, but it didn't happen. I omitted the dill as preference and upped the cayenne and mionced garlic. The sauce is lovely and would be great on sandwiches too! Made for Daffy Daffodils Canada ZWT Challenge

WOW - hey Potsie - Jim and I had these tonight. I am married to a fisherman who thinks the only fish worth eating are straight from the ocean and they still have a pulse as he takes out their fillet. After eating this tonight - he just looked at me and said " you can make these again" - Now I have to tell you - with a review like that from Jim - you will just slide into heaven whenever you depart this earth - you are a shoe in

There were really great! I only wish they had less mayo in them. I made them exactly as written but pumped up the cayenne in the cakes and added some hot sauce to the sauce. I'll be making these again! Thanks for the great recipe!

Tonight I think I was reinacting 'Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares'! I wanted something quick and tasty for our dinner and came across this recipe. I made the sauce but only had 4 Tbsp of mayo....no worries, I'll make less sauce. It does pay to read the entire recipe first because I had not noticed that more mayo was required. YIKES! So back to the main section where I found recipe 71967 for homemade mayo. Cool...made the mayo (great btw) but would advise others NOT to peer into the hole of the blender while trickling in the oil. It may be a great hair conditioner but my contact lenses did not like it! Went back and augmented the sauce with the mayo that had not coated my hair and face and had enough left to proceed with this recipe. I KNEW I had a box of Panko but could not find it. Called my neighbour, dressed for minus 13 degree temps and hopped the fence to her house where the best she had was pretty generic breadcrumbs. Got home, ripped off boots, gloves and hat and found DH standing there with a smile on his face and the Panko that HE had put away acres from where it is supposed to live. Snarled at the nearest dog (displacement as DH does not like snarls) and carried on. Served it with garlic smashed red potato and some corn I had frozen this summer. A glass of wine for DH and a bottle with a straw for me! Great Salmon cakes and sauce! It took about 90 minutes for the process including road trips, mayo making and a shampoo so not as quick as I had hoped but delicious. I think the uncooked filling minus the egg could be my new salmon salad sandwich recipe too. Thanks for theiving and posting Pot Scrubber. Will make it many times I'm sure but hopefully minus the chaos. BTW skipped the dill as I loathe it and made it with Red Sockeye salmon as that is what I generally buy.

I really wanted to like this recipe because of all the good hits it got, but in the end, they were just OK. I had made up the ingredients and chilled really well before I made the patties. They were so moist that there was no way that they were going to stay together and they ended up breaking up while cooking. I would do this recipe again, but I would watch the amount of wet ingredients that is going in to the pot. I have alot of huge salmon steaks in my freezer, so I will play around with this one

My DH and I both enjoyed this yummy recipe! I did use a large egg, so added a few more breadcrumbs. I didn't have any corn flakes, so used cheerios! Thanks for a good dinner! Served with cole slaw!
