Salmon Patties...

[Gonna Smoke]

...again! Back in September, I went to Alaska fishing and now I have an abundance of Coho fillets. One of the salmon dished we like, especially Sheila, is salmon patties. We both grew up eating them made with canned salmon, they were cheap for our parents to make. Fast forward to now, I can make them with fresh salmon, or rather fresh frozen salmon I caught. Sheila's brother is here from Pennsylvania and he always liked them growing up, too. I've made them before with smoked salmon...

Smoked Salmon Patties

Growing up, salmon patties were a regular on my family's menu, my dad loved them and it was cheap to make. But he always made them with canned salmon. Both my wife and I like them, but fresh salmon is better so why not smoked salmon? I had some fresh frozen Coho from a fishing trip to Alaska so...

...so why not again? So here we go...

A couple of packs from my freezer...

Salt, garlic powder, and cracked black pepper and onto the smoker to get right...

Getting close...

Meanwhile, I gathered the rest of the ingredients...

• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 3-4 TBS Duke's mayo
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 1 medium onion diced
• ½ red bell pepper chopped
• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup chopped parsley

Saute the onion and bell pepper in some EVOO and butter until translucent and slightly brown...

The salmon is done, cooled, and flaked into a bowl. Then all the other ingredients are added and everything combined well...

Formed into patties and ready for the Blackstone...

On the griddle with some EVOO and butter...

Made a pot of creamy stone ground grits...

And some roasted carrots...

Some grated extra sharp cheddar for the grits and chipotle aioli for the patties. Time to eat...

My BIL was not disappointed...

For a bonus, I was reading where the salmon skin, which is usually thrown away, was really good pan fried and lightly salted. So what did I have to lose?

Fried crisp in EVOO and lightly salted. Just keep an eye on them so they don't burn...

These were really good and I'll do them again. Give it a try, you can still throw them away if you don't like them...

Wow nice work Charles. That brings back memories for sure, and delicious memories at that. We usually always ate them mixed with green Chile diced in the mix, with fried potatoes but those carrots and cheesy grits would be excellent. I also always cherished fried trout or salmon skin, good stuff. Nice work bud.

I'm not a big fan of salmon. But, I would try these in a flash!
