I thought this recipe was outstanding. I followed the recipe as written with the exception of using canned salmon. Everything turned out delicious. Per the previous comments I did create the patties and then placed them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cooking. The family was intrigued with the meal based on the wonderful smell coming from the kitchen as the salmon cakes were cooking. Will definitely make again.
