CP - I was a little confused last night as I was making these as I was thinking that the sauce was to pour over the patties. It's very unusual to make a mix like this and then put in the fridge to firm up, and then to roll into patties. The patties were still a bit mushy on the inside when cooked, but that could have been because I doubled the salmon. This didn't really bother anyone because they tasted fantastic! I doubled the salmon because I wasn't sure if this was a recipe for more than 2 people - can you remember JD? Verdict: very economical, really tasty - and will definitely make it again.

CP - We had these for tea tonight. Made the mix up yesterday to cool in a slice tray in the fridge, and then tonight it was nice and firmish so I just cut into about 16 squares, rolled in the egg, breadcrumbs, and then fried. (Didn't worry about reshaping into patty shapes) This would be handy for someone who needs to prepare a meal a day ahead, and serve with a salad. Anyone who's following Weight Watchers, each patty is 2 points.

Thanks JD - great addition to the menu.

LOL - me too.  Always a little extra bit of taste.

I honestly can't remember CP63 - how many patties did you get out of it. I can remember the insides being soft though so doubling the salmon wouldn't have been the reason for this.  You could always add some leftover mashed potato (plain potatoes with no milk added) or even some cooked rice ? perhaps for a firmer texture.  Must try these again, I like to stretch out our houskeeping dollars using cans of tuna or salmon and it's been a while since I've used either. Thanks for your review CP63.

Ooh, another one I missed. I think I will give these a try Judy. I made a salmon dish with Tassal tinned salmon not long ago and liked the taste of it, so I'll use it for these.

Wonder if it might work placing the mixture into those silicon muffin trays and partly freezing before unmoulding and dipping in egg & breadcrumbs? 

Just a thought to reduce the mess

Great idea Thermomixer - if you have room in your freezer

Ummmm - well that's a point !

Thanks CP, it was one of my early postings so I've just amended it to show ingredients listed in order of use. I cringe when I see some of my early postings

Don't we all, but then I'm too lazy to go back to them.

I went back to the early posts looking for recipes to collect and read some of the early posts of members. How much some of you have changed! Good to see that we all started out the same in some ways.
