Salmon Patties

While working with a couple of other blokes on a salmon fishing team once a week we would each take a couple of fish home,experiment at new recipes for salmon patties and take the results with us for lunch the next day for comments.This recipe is one that got the best comments.

Fillet two salmon,cut the flesh into chunks,place in a large pot with enough water to cover and boil/simmer for about 10 minutes or untill chunks start to break up easily.
Working on a mix of 60%fish/40%mashed potato, peel,dice and boil enough spuds in another pot.

Dice up 1 or 2 brown onions according to taste.Beat a couple of eggs in a bowl for dipping the patties in later.

When fish and spuds are cooked,drain off water and using plenty of elbow grease thoroughly mix the two lots together adding 2 eggs,the chopped/diced onions and about half a cup of grated parmissan or another strong cheese.Form into patties of a size of your picking,dip into the beaten egg and roll in bread crumbs.Cook in a frying pan or deep fryer untill golden brown then sit back and tuck in

salmon patties

yep, they sound pretty good.  or otherwise it's a thai green curry.  The only things to do with salmon I reckon.

Salmon Pie

Wed, 2009-03-18 09:01

Good recipe Carnarvonite. My mother showed me how to make fish pie out of very much the same blend. Spuds, cooked Salmon, onions and some herbs that I have forgotten. It ends up looking like the traditional shepherds pie with mashed spud on top and lovely crispy brown top.

I will deffinatly give the patties a go (if and when I catch a Salmon LOL).

Fishcakes are certainly

Fishcakes are certainly popular for salmon. Might have to give that one a try.

I've eaten it just floured and pan-fried in a bit of oil and butter and it came out not too bad. Though, we did bleed them strait away, then ice slurry them. If you just leave them on the beach til you've finished your session, its probably not too surprising they dont taste all that good. I doubt as many people would like dhuie if it was left on the sand for two hours and not bled or iced :p Though salmon is no comparison to dhuie, so not too surprising if people arent that fond of them when bled and iced when compared to some of the other fish.

We catch sea sweep (my cheating Thai Fish Cakes)

 I put the fillets (skin free)  in the the steamer and in the water I put chinese cooking wine, steam till cooked.  I'm lazy so I use instant mashed potatoes (IMP).  Boil kettle pour over IMP just so they stick together, then put in chopped spring onion, fresh chillie, fresh coriander, fresh garlic or powered, red curry paste (to your liking), 1 or two egg, salt & pepper, when fish is cooked flake and put in bowl of IMP with all above, mix well, cover in breadcrumbs and either fry or deep fry.  I think these taste better at room temperature, when I make them I just eat it them all, Bob might get a look in if he is lucky.  Its trial and error with the ingredidents, some people might like more red curry than others or the same for spring onions, garlic or coriander.  I do put heaps of curry paste in kills the taste of the fish.  This is my receipy through trial and error.

I've also steamed dhuie/snapper wings and flaked flesh off and put in also

Same recipe

Wed, 2009-03-18 09:22

as Carnarvonites works well with Threadfin - my brother made a huge batch at Pardoo a few years ago and ate them all the way back home to Perth - upset another brother who's Troopie we were in - salting them on the dashboard with all the excess salt falling through the dash vents and on to the wiring harness.
