My DH lived in Conn. for several years and enjoyed eating salmon patties there with white sauce on them. Being the southern girl that I am...I have NO idea what it was. I made salmon patties the other night and fixed a creamy horseradish sauce to go with...he said...nope, not it. When I asked him if it was a dill sauce, he said he didn't think so.

So....what do you folks in New England eat on your salmon patties???

can't help you, I put ketchup or tartar sauce on mine. Although a dill sauce sounds good.

Did he have them at a particular restaraunt that you could call?

My friend makes it with the liquid from the canned salmon. Kind of like gravy. I think it's just salmon juice, milk, black pepper and flour. Sometimes she put some frozen English peas in for color.

It's a white sauce made with flour, milk, butter, salt and white pepper. We make a salmon pie and we make a white sauce to go on top of it. If you have a cook book just look up white sauce.

Oh, then its really just a bashamel sauce or classic white sauce. He was saying it was something other than that, so I'll try making that to see if thats it.

Thanks for the info.

You might also add a little of the salmon to the sauce, thats what we do and I was brought up in Connecticut.

Thanks so much lady...I'll try that when I go to the store to get another can of salmon.

The canned salmon makes a great cold salad as well - with mayo - I like it better than tuna.

Well duh...I hadn't even thought of that!!! Thats why I love this board!
