My wife got a craving for salmon patties for some reason. I bought a can
of Bumblebee pink salmon for the event. She said she would do the
cooking.
Then she called her sister to see how to make them. I yelled, "Same as a meatloaf!", but she ignored me. Nevertheless, I decided to make the
patties. When I did, she said she doesn't like the skin so I picked off
the majority, made the patties and asked what she wanted as a side.
She said "fried potatoes and onions". What? We haven't had that side
since we last camped in the Nineties!
I sliced the potatoes and onions and remembered what a pain-in-the-ass
is is to brown the potatoes in a black iron pan and make sure they're
done. When I put in the patties, she said there wasn't enough oil.
I let her take over the whole shebang, and here's the result. I don't
think I've ever had this combination before. The green beans are canned.
Even with the confusion I experienced, this turned out better than expected.

I'm pretty sure there's a few dozen ways to make salmon patties but mine are mixed with an egg, corn meal, and several healthy shakes of lemon pepper. Some use crushed saltines, some mix in flour, some add finely minced onion, it all depends on how you like salmon patties.
By the way, Chicken of the Sea puts out small cans of boneless and skinless pink salmon for future reference. The cans are the size of a tuna can.

The salmon patties look good but the preparation is not really the

I've made fish cakes from raw tuna but never salmon patties. I might
have made them when I was a kid when I was learning to cook from cook
books. It's one of the great classic American dishes! I suppose you
could make salmon patties from raw salmon but people don't seem to do
that. I will try to cook up some canned salmon patties. I think my
wife will like them - but I probably won't.

Looks good. We used to make fried potatoes like that every few weeks.
Been a while, I should do it again.
When I make salmon patties I use a 15 oz. can of canned pink salmon, not
the tuna sized can. I drain it and remove the little round bones but
that's not really necessary since they are so soft they can be crushed
with a fork. The skin doesn't bother me either but there really isn't
much of it. Remove the skin if it bothers you. Mash the salmon in a
mixing bowl with a fork. Stir in a bit of flour (or breadcrumbs), S&P,
an egg, minced onion. I add a Tbs. of sour cream. More flour to help
bind the mixture. (My mother used to add crushed corn chips rather than flour.) Expect it to be a bit crumbly. Form it into patties and let it
set on waxed paper for a bit. Pan fry in a small amount of oil in a
large non-stick skillet until browned on both sides.

JilllIf you like it, try a few healthy shakes of lemon pepper in your next batch of patties mixture.
No, the skin or bones don't bother me, but when I was working and would
make
salmon patties for work lunches my co-worker hated the little bones.
They're
so soft, they make no difference to me so I would buy the little cans of boneless,
skinless Chicken of the Sea salmon.

I understand why you'd buy the boneless skinless because your co-worker disliked the little bones, although they're easy enough to remove before
to cook them. The Chicken of the Sea tuna-size cans cost more than the
15 oz. Roland brand "fancy" (nothing fancy about it) pink salmon.
I'm not saying either one is better than the other. They're just salmon patties, after all. :)

The meatloaf was mostly standard except for some ketchup, Korean beef broth powder, and corn. I cooked it in a rice cooker. My meatloaves are like fingerprints - no two are ever the same.

It is funny how so many complained that going metric would involve a lot
of extra expense to retool the production line. They seem to have no
problems paying that to downsize their products while maintaining the
old price.

It kind of is. Cracker or bread crumbs bring it all together along with
an egg yolk and some salt. After that, one's imagination is the limit.
That applies to any loose meat. I call it a method and not a recipe
and will understand other points of view when I'm corrected.

It makes sense to me because I worked with a couple guys who expressed
the same thoughts. They thought that it was a a way to hide the increase
in gas prices. We had been dealing in Imperial Gallons and there are
about 4.5 litres to the gallon. An increase of 10 cents per gallon would translate closer to 2.5 cents per unit, so it was easier to pull the
wool over their eyes.
Gas prices have been bouncing up and down like crazy over the last few
years. Recently the local price rose by about 10 cents/litre. Even the
above mentioned stupid people noticed it, but we were dealing in Imp.
Gal the price jump would have been 45 cents.

You would love the way they price cold cuts at the deli counters here.
They don't dare price the stuff out by the kilo. When you are dealing
with good hams, salamis etc the price of a kilo of it would scare people away. Given a hypothetical $10 per pound, the metric cost would be
$22.50 per kg. They soften the blow by pricing them per 100 grams.
That's a little less than 4 oz. They make it virtually impossible for
people to figure it out, but it does allow them to ask a price that
seems affordable.

People don't give up easily. Most Americans think the entire world

$22.50 per kg. They soften the blow by pricing them per 100 grams.
That's a little less than 4 oz. They make it virtually impossible for
people to figure it out, but it does allow them to ask a price that
seems affordable.
What's to figure? I would usually buy "about 200 grams". Although
if my husband needed American cheese I would buy a kilo.
I was at the deli looking at Spanish ham for $25/pound. I don't
think $55/kilo would have made me feel much worse.
McDonald's sells Quarter pounders, not 113 gramers!
We have been metric for
more than 40 years and a lot of people still have trouble with it. They just can't give up the pounds and oz and felt a need to to convert.
How about young people who grew up with it? Do they just roll their
eyes at the old fogies who think in pounds and ounces?

That applies to any loose meat. I call it a method and not a recipe
and will understand other points of view when I'm corrected.
I'll concede, Leo. :) Although I don't use cracker crumbs or bread
crumbs in my salmon patties there is a beaten egg (not just the yolk)
and some seasoned flour involved as part of the binder.
