Ingredients

Salmon Patties

7 ounce can red salmon, drained, skin and bones removed (I know, I know…the bones are actually good for you, but I still like to pick out the big pieces!)

¼ cup diced onion

8 saltine crackers, finely crushed (I’ve also used finely crushed garlic croutons for a nice flavor enhancer)

1 egg, beaten

¼ teaspoon garlic salt

1/8 teaspoon Emeril’s Fish Rub (optional, but it’s good stuff)

1/8 teaspoon pepper

flour for coating salmon patties

2 tablespoons butter for frying pan

Creamed Peas

2 tablespoons butter (no margarine, please)

2 tablespoons flour

¼ teaspoon salt (I like to use sea salt, if I’ve got it on hand)

1/8 teaspoon Jane’s Crazy Mixed Up Salt (optional, but pick some up if you’ve never tired it – it’s a great seasoning, and I’m pretty sure it’s available online, too)

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 cup half-and-half (of course you can use milk, but I’m going for a richer sauce here!)

8.5 ounce can Le Sueur Very Young Small Sweet Peas (these make THE best creamed peas, but use whatever is available in your area), drained well

Directions

It’s best to make the creamed peas first, so it’s ready to pour over the salmon patties when they are done – the patties take very little time to fry up.

For the creamed peas, melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the flour and seasonings.

Gradually stir in the half-and-half, using a whisk to help prevent lumps.

Heat, whisking often, until sauce begins to thicken.

Add drained peas and gently stir with a spoon (a whisk may break up the peas too much).

Stir often as it continues to heat and thicken.

To prepare the salmon patties, break up the salmon in a shallow bowl and mix with remaining patty ingredients.

Sprinkle a piece of waxed paper generously with some flour.

Shape salmon into 3 or 4 patties, and place them in the flour.

Carefully flip the patties over so both sides are coated with the flour.

Preheat skillet until hot (but not hot enough to burn the butter when added) and add butter to pan – as soon as it’s melted, place the salmon patties into the hot, melted butter.

Fry until golden on bottom, then carefully flip and continue to fry until brown on bottom.

Serve immediately with creamed peas poured over each patty.

I love, love, love salmon patties. And yes, I leave the big crunchy bones in. I like the crunch of em when I chew. LOL

Creamed peas is something I have never made, I know my kids love peas...now I need to see if they like them creamed. They like creamed corn...

Krum, This is just wonderful. I love salmon patties and usually have peas on the side. I didn't think to combine them. Your pics are great. I have made creamed pea over toast but this is a yummy twist. I'm saving and printing this. You have a ^5 for sure sweetie. :)

Krum, I have to confess I have never bought a can of salmon. I remember my mother buying it and picking thru bones and bits of skin and it just never appealed to me! I do have fresh salmon in the freezer (does that make sense??) and I bet I could use that in place of the canned, right? This looks delicious, particularly with the creamed peas! A good way to eat fish!

Oldie, but a goodie. I was just going to make up a batch of salmon cakes today before I even saw this recipe. Think I'll just try yours! And salmond loaf...another 50's throwback! YUM!

Have been making salmon patties abd creamed peas for years, just don't pour the creamed peas over the patties.

michellem 1 year, 1 month ago said:
I'll be right over for dinner! I have never tried a dish quite like this...but I would love to.

rosemaryblue 1 year, 1 month ago said:
Hello Krum, don't know how I missed this when you posted! Anyway, it's more than wonderful! So, so comforting! This is the same recipe that my mother used, then passed on to me. Always have to have creamed peas, (your way, too) but always have them on the side. I love the "smothered" part. I will do this the next time. Of course, next to my mashed potatoes! :)

conner909 1 year, 1 month ago said:
Hey Krum! I made this recipe for dinner tonight...only difference is I used salmon I had purchased at Costco and frozen. I defrosted and poached the salmon, then flaked it and followed your recipe right down to the canned Le Seuer peas! It really turned out great and hubby was very happy! I give you a 5 on this! More later this week...take care!

Just looking at the pics. brings back memories of my Mom, cooking up a batch of salman patties for all of us, there were eight of us running around. I was to young to remember how she made them, and even through trial and error, I just can't seem to get it right. I'm anxcious to try this recipe. The creamed peas will be just the right touch.

This is so odd.I have an recipe on Salmon Patties but it is a little diffrent this this one.

valinkenmore 3 months, 2 weeks ago said:
I just found this recipe and brought back instant memories! The same dinosaurs were roaming parts of Texas when I was a kid! lol!
Yes, creamed peas smothering the patties. And yes back then we used canned or fresh peas and now for conveience I use frozen petite peas. Love this recipe - it is a little different from mine - but out with the old and in with the new - I'm trying yours!

This is dish I grew up with. Friday meatless days, Mom would make this for dinner. I still make it at least one Friday during lent and have the kids for dinner. Only thing I do different now is I use frozen Green Giant baby peas. We never had frozen vegetable when I was growing up. It was always canned or fresh in the summer time. This is a 5 star classic vintage recipe

robnfrank 8 months, 2 weeks ago said:
This recipe for the patties and the cream sauce sounds terrific, and I can't wait to try it. However, in the meantime I feel obligated to suggest to all that you have not really had a taste treat until you have smothered the patties in "Creamed Peas" but in "Creamed Peas AND Carrots!" I usually use the canned variety because it is easy to find the ones with the small-diced carrots which is what you want. But if you can find the frozen mix that way, then by all means. The two veggies together are SO much better. I brought this nifty idea home from the college cafeteria over 40 years ago and everyone I serve it to LOVES it!
