  • “I normally cook about 4-5 times per week, and most of the dinners are OK, but quickly forgotten. My family has talked about this one for weeks.”

  • “We liked this! I threw in about 4T of green onions and 1/8 t. granulated garlic. used extra parsley, too. i thought it was a little too heavy on the worcestershire, tho, so will cut back on that next time. Used some prepared remoulade sauce on it that really gave it a punch. a keeper for certain! UPDATE: Did this one again, tweaking and experimenting as i went. We like it better every time we have it! This time i added 3 T minced red onion, subsituted oat bran for the 2T wheat germ, used a 50/50 mix of Italian bread crumbs and Wondra flour to coat it.Then i sauted it 5 min on ea side in a mix of butter and olive oil-not very much. Used bottled remoulade sauce instead of salsa–this is most definitely staying on the menu rotations! Thanks, Dorothy!”

  • “This was good Dorothy but it just didn’t go over the top for me!!?I found them a bit “loose”.I think next time I’ll used breadcrumbs and less Worcestershire.Course I upped the Tabasco too.But it sure is easy to make (which I always like) and I will give them a go again.”

  • “I’ve been making Granny’s Salmon Patty recipe for years so when I saw this one I thought it deserved a chance and we loved it. I did cut back the Worcstershire to 1 tablespoon and used bread crumbs rather then wheat germ. My family loved the flavour mix of the salsa and salmon. I will use this recipe again.”

  • “Very tasty.Not terribly spicy, even with the extra hot sauce I added, but at least the flavour of the salmon wasn’t masked.I followed the recipe nearly perfectly, using breadcrumbs instead of wheat germ, but I didn’t do the final coating before frying, which I did on the stovetop instead of the oven.They got crispy and brown on their own.”
