Made using my mother's decades old method that she clipped from a
magazine before I was born. Not cracker or breadcrumbs or flour as the
binder. Crushed corn chips. My mother called them "Corn Doodle
Burgers". I think that's what the original recipe called for - a
cheaper version of Frito's.

It calls for a can of salmon, drained and flaked with a fork then placed
in a deep mixing bowl. (remove the bones if you wish) Add one large
egg, some minced onion, a Tbs. or two of sour cream (use prepared
mayonnaise if you don't have sour cream), 1 cup of crushed corn chips.
Sprinkle with some pepper. Mix it together then form into about 6
patties. Place on waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator for about
30 minutes.

(At some point Gary will chime in about the bones in canned salmon and
not liking salmon patties even without the bones. Okey doke.)

Pan fry the salmon patties in neutral oil (canola is good) until browned
on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

I like these made with the crushed corn cnips every once in a while
because they're salty, and I like salt.

Just wait until McDonalds introduces the McSalmon Burger.

Even cheap McDonalds isn't stupid enough to try to sell
fish sandwiches with bones in. Notice the current fish sandwiches
are boneless.

Bone-in salmon started last century when, with no refrigeration,
canned salmon was a big hit. The original companies, decided to
cook the salmon, bones and all, just to save labor and money.
First time salmon for many so they accepted the bone crap. Tiad.
So very tiad!

Tradition holds though so modern idiots will still buy it.
The few times I buy canned salmon, I'll pay more for the small
boneless cans. No odd recipe with chips either...make them just
like you make crab cakes for a good meal.

In my worthless opinion though, only good salmon is fresh
BONELESS salmon steaks. Good eats. Let the "trailer trash" of the
world eat bones and all from a can. Tightwads willing to eat
cheaper. lol

Salmon patties don't have bones in them. You remove the bones before
mashing the salmon with the other ingredients. DUH.

The bones in canned salmon are very easy to remove but some eat them
for their nutritional value. MY first wife who could barely boil
water managed a very good canned salmon loaf that employed cottage
cheese... I'm sorry I never got that recipe. She had no problem
picking the bones out.

Alleged calcium. I pick them out with a fork when I drain the salmon in
a collander over the sink.

I've never had salmon loaf. I have made a nice large stuffed sea shell
pasta (baked) dish that was stuffed using drained (bones removed) canned
salmon. Flaked with a fork and combined with cottage cheese, egg. I
don't recall the exact details. I baked it with a dill cream sauce
spooned on top. It was very tasty!

Don't knock a crock pot. I used mine to make a chuck roast a couple of
weeks ago. I browned the roast first. Came out falling apart tender
which was my intention. Nice gravy. I served it with mashed potatoes.

That's probably one of the reason Ju-Ju's husband left her and her constant
whining about what she does and does like and her 10,000 failures in the
kitchen. He probably also got tired of hearing "that's not available here,
nobody in the state eats that, restaurants here don't serve that."

I remember many posts where she said her husband didn't like or wouldn't
eat what she cooked. He'd pick up something on his way home from work.
If she did happen upon something everyone liked, she'd cook a whole
bunch of it. Then she'd complain because they didn't want to eat the
same thing day after day. Variety is *not* her forte.

Nothing wrong with cooked salmon bones in the can. They are so soft that
if you bite into one you probably would not even notice.

In Bruce's worthless opinion (he said it!), the last fish
patties/burgers he made used canned mackerel. Want to talk about
trailer trash? Canned mackerel ranks right up there. IMHO and YMMV.

When I drain the canned salmon I do pick out the bones. It's easy
enough to do with a fork. But I don't freak out over it if there are a
few of the very soft bones still in there when I mash the salmon. Pick
those out with a fork, too.

The recipe is very tasty even without the crushed corn chips. Normally
I just use a little flour to help bind the mixture together with the egg
and minced onion, sometimes minced bell pepper, salt & pepper. The sour
cream if I have some or mayonnaise if I don't. I usually don't have
sour cream so I use mayo. Either way, they're quite tasty.

I am not a fan of mackerel. I worked for a while as a sea mammal trainer
and started my work day cutting up hundreds of pounds of the Spanish
Mackerel to feed to the critters. If I walk into a fish store and there
is mackerel I can smell it over the other aromas.

My mother used to remove them but when I was a teen I learned from a
friend that the do not need to be removed, that you can just press them
lightly with a fork and they disintegrate.

Salmon patties should be on my to cook list. I love salmon. I consider
canned salmon to be a different but similarly good thing.

I like them with canned mackerel or with canned salmon, so we have
either. Should I avoid canned mackerel because it's cheap? What kind
of snobby nonsense is that?

Besides, this whole newsgroup is built on cheap. Chicken wings for
$.95c a pound, cow's ass for $.75 a pound, armadillo dicks for $.10c a
piece, insecticide-ridden Walmart vegetables, GM corn, xanthan gum
concoctions etc. You're all a bunch of tightwads from hell

It sounds quite similar to the method of using cornmeal as the binder and
doesn't sound half bad. After all, it does have mayonnaise in the mixture!

Really? Then how come most of what we hear about you cooking involves
some sort of Tex-Mex, beans, beans, more beans, and brown rice? BTW,
there's nothing wrong with steamed vegetables but I also roast, stir-fry
and grill them. And unlike you, I don't seem to have problems finding
*good* fresh vegetables.

You keep saying Tex Mex. I never said that.

I make what *we* like to eat. I made steaks tonight for the gardener. I
don't eat steak. Can't digest it. That's fine as I don't like it. There is
leftover Pad Thai. I did purchase the brown rice noodles. The rest is from
scratch. I don't like that either. Actually never had it because...eggs, but
it doesn't appeal to me.

Recent posts have been of stew, bread, soft pretzels. I also made pasta with
red sauce and Italian cheeses, Italian seasoned chicken breasts, walnut
crusted chicken breasts, a cheese ball... The list goes on and on.

Beans are my favorite food. Always have been. I happen not to like steamed
vegetables at all. I think are tamales and hum bow are the only steamed
things I do like.

I believe that you live in a warm climate where you can likely grow most
produce year round. I don't. So far celery has been the only problem and
that has been confirmed. It's not just here.

Get over yourself. You seem to think you're superior. You're not.

Julie has always been the queen of "I don't like that".

How many times has she posted about food fails? If she's such a good
cook how come she posted so often that no one would eat [whatever] or
about meals that no one would eat?

How many times has she said there was nothing on a restaurant menu she
could eat? Inevitably she finally orders a salad and turns out there
was something wrong with it. Sheesh.

I do cook a wide variety of foods. I don't expect everyone to like what
I cook. Not everyone likes lamb or oxtails. I get that. Not everyone
likes fish or seafood. I get that. She and her champion, Bruce, can
sit around making fun of the words "steamed" and "lightly" all they
want. I love cooking and I'm good at it. No one has ever refused to
eat anything I've cooked.

Sure I post food fails. The last one was the Easter potoatoes. I doubt there

It's because you constantly post of those things.

I cook what I like for *me*. When I cook for others, I cook what *they*
like.
