I have a recipe for salmon patties that I like a lot, but [this thread in IMHO](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=291524) made me realize there are many other scrumptious varieties of salmon patty out there that I’m missing out on. So - what’s your favroite recipe for salmon patties, or loaf, or other things you like to do with canned salmon? I’ll post my salmon patty recipe later. Don’t have it on this computer. ---

Here ya go. These are very tasty, but I make them with fresh salmon, not canned. 8 Cups Cooked, flaked red salmon 8 Eggs, beaten 2 Cups Crushed saltine crackers 1 tsp Hot paprika 2-3 Tbsp Dried thyme leaves 2 Bunches green onions, chopped 2 tsp Salt Mix all ingredients together by hand until just blended. Form into patties by hand or…Spread out on a large cutting board to a depth of about one inch. Cut patties with a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter. Fry cakes in a little butter until nicely browned and heated through. Serve with a remoulade or a Louis dressing or an aoli. Makes about three dozen. ---

I like to put 2 to 4 cubes of boiled (but firm) potatoes into the cakes before frying them. I also use celery and onions in my salmon patties. Mmm… 😃 ---

I can’t find the recipe on-line and I don’t have a box of Stove Top right now, but we like a salmon pattie recipe that uses Stove Top stuffing as the binder. If I remember right, add some hot water to a cup (or maybe 2 cups) of Stove Top to soften it, then mix in the can of salmon, some lemon juice, mayonnaise, and maybe an egg. I’m not sure about the egg. They were crunchy and tangy and they held together nicely. ---

I don’t really have a recipe, but I like to saute minced onion, carrot, celery and red pepper, then add this to the salmon along with some breadcrumbs and an egg to bind it. Mashed potatoes on the side are a must. ---

Like above variations, but I add a Tablespoon of mustard preferable Dijon. ---
