I happen to LIKE salmon cakes. It's one of my what-the-heck-can-I-make-for-supper standbys. I used red sockeye canned -( a fresh fillet gets the poaching sentence.) Someone mentioned the price, but you can't eat out for less, even at a fast food chain, I bet.

My mother used to made salmon pie in a double crust a few times in the winter - being a kid, I had to smother it with ketchup, but she didn't mind - it got the fish into me.
