Wow, I had to try this recipe because I actually had leftover cornbread and mashed potatoes and 1 lb. of fresh salmon in the refrigerator. I used 1 cup each of cornbread and potatoes and steamed the salmon. I left the rest of the ingredients as is. These salmon cakes were very yummy. If there were leftovers, I bet they would be great heated up the next morning with an egg on top!

Little wing, these were amazing. I didn't use leftovers. I used a can of salomon and breadcrumbs and instant potatoes. Next time I will plan better! Everyone told me this was the best thing I had ever made. I don't know how to take that! Thanks again.

Very good. I used mashed potatoes and hamburger roll bread crumbs then followed everything else to the letter. A dirfferent type of salmon cake but one I'll definitely make again.

These were great. I used canned salmon and left over mashed potatoes. No left over cornbread but breadcrumbs did the trick. I'll be using this recipe all the time now! Thanks!

I found this recipe looking for a way to use up left over cornbread. I probably made too many changes to rate it fairly, but I am giving 5 stars to the concept ... I love versatile recipes! I used tuna, omitted potatoes, added some canned corn, about 1 cup of breadcrumbs (to make up for the potatoes), 1 TB of mustard instead of horseradish, tarragon instead of dill, and subbed relish for the hot sauce. These flavours worked well although I think some horseradish would've been really great, if I'd had any on hand. Thanks for posting, Little Wing!

These were much nicer than our usual cakes! I used tuna because it was what I had on hand, and regular bread crumbs, and it turned out delicious. The addition of the lemon and horseradish was wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe-- this definitely replaces my usual one!

My husband loved these! I used leftover rice instead of cornbread and it worked just fine. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow! This was great flavor, quick and easy. I usually do not care for salmon cakes, but the potatoes drew me to try it. I used crackers instead of the breadcrumbs, and instant potatoes. I ended up "dropping" them into the pan instead of being able to make patties, but they were light and perfectly flavored. Everyone raved.

I think I made too many changes from the original recipe to rate it, so I just want to make some comments. I had some cooked fish (snapper) left over, and usually I make a tuna salad type sandwiches for lunch, but I was getting tired of that. So, I came across this recipe and I had to try it with what I had on hand. I did not have any mashed potatoes, so I put a small one in the microwave and mashed it. In place of horseradish sauce I used a tsp of dijon mustard, and I had no dill, so I used thyme. I put some panko breadcrumbs in as well. After making the patties, I coated them with panko breadcrumbs. They came out wonderful!! Thanks for the great idea.

Hot hot hot, and I didn't' use the horseradish. Love the idea of using mashed potatoes as a filler, but if you don't like the heat, use less than the full tablespoon of hot sauce that is called for. Judy
