BACKSTORY:  INSPIRATION FOR THE RECIPE

One morning in 2013, my precious aunt made Salmon Patties for breakfast.

In love after the first bite.  Requested the recipe!    

First, she asked me write down the ingredients and agreed to teach me how to make them.

The original recipe published in November 2018 was made with this small can of pink salmon.

In November 2018, I decided to add the Salmon Patties to my recipe collection.  Can’t explain why it took so long.  Just glad I did! 

 

 

Aunt B whipped up a batch today (February 10, 2022) with a larger can of Pink Salmon (14.75 ounces) and it’s the inspiration for the updated recipe below.  Made 14 patties. 

 

I hope you enjoy as much as we do.  

 

THE MAIN INGREDIENT

According to  Goodhousekeeping.org, make sure the label indicates that the salmon you’re buying is either Alaskan pink salmon, sockeye, or red salmon. All of those terms indicate that your salmon is the wild stuff from North American waters.   

The Alaskan salmon fishery is one of the most well-managed, safe, and sustainable fisheries in the world, so as long as your salmon is wild-caught, it’s almost always an ethical choice.

According to Berkeley Wellness, almost all canned salmon is wild caught, but not all of it really is.   Carefully read the label before buying.  

Avoid salmon that was shipped overseas for processing.  If โ€œproduct of Thailandโ€ or another foreign country is written on the label of a can of salmon, that means the fish was caught in the U.S., shipped across the world, processed, and shipped back to the states for sale.

 

THE SALMON BATTER WILL BE THIN

SALMON PATTIES WILL FIRM UP WHILE FRYING IN HOT VEGETABLE OIL

The outside will form a deep golden crust.  The inside will be moist and delicious.

 

HOW TO FRESHEN THE AIR 

Thankfully, there are several ways to keep the air fresh while frying Salmon Patties.

Vinegar Water 2022

 

Before frying the Salmon Patties, fill a medium sized saucepan with water.  Add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar.  Although white distilled vinegar will work, apple cider vinegar has a stronger more effective scent.

Allow the mixture to boil while frying the salmon patties.

After frying all the mixture, add more water and vinegar to the saucepan.  Allow to boil another 20 minutes.  Be sure to wipe the countertops and stovetop with a dishcloth dipped in bleach and water.  Spray air freshener if desired. 

Open a window if the weather is good.   

 

ENJOY!

    The video says 16 oz. can of salmon, but the printed recipe says 6 oz. can of salmon. Which is correct? Want to try this soon.
