Make Salmon Patties with Canned Salmon ~ by Mary's Nest
Here is one of Jennifer's favorite childhood recipes from her mom Mary ~ Salmon Patties with canned salmon,
Looking back on my childhood food memories, I realize my mother was not what we today we call a gourmet cook. She herself was a very 'picky eater'. However she did have a few recipes that today I still make in different variations, salmon patties being one of her favorites.
In searching for a recipe, I stumbled upon this one from Mary's Nest (the name Mary seemed too symbolic to ignore so I picked it).
Today, I’m sharing a quick and easy salmon patties recipe that literally comes together in minutes. Plus, this recipe makes use of that canned salmon in your pantry that you have been wondering what to do with. And no matter what you call them….salmon patties or salmon cakes…these are moist, flavorful, and just simply delicious!
