Ok I am sorry but I have to put my two cents on this one, I think canned salmon is gross. I use fresh salmon when I make my salmon patties:
I have a kitchen aid mixer with a meat grinding attachment for it. I buy a whole salmon filet about 2.5 to 3 lbs. I have the butcher skin it for me.
Then I chop it in hunks, run it thru the food grinder, then I add red onion, 2 tablespoons of parsley, 3/4 of a jar of dijon mustard and 1/2 to 3/4 of a container of the Progresso Italian bread crumbs and two eggs, I mix this all together and then make them into patties, I freeze them and usually can make about 15-18 out of this recipe!
They are awesome and you will never eat canned salmon again!
