Iβm playing catch up on videos after a busy work week but my mom made these exact same things when I was a kid. And we used to top them with Japanese Mayo and I actually loved them! Except the one time I bit into a bone onceβ¦ took a long time to get over that
I love your video's but please don't say "Jesus Christ". I don't like that…..and neither would your Grandma.
My mother is 96, made her salmon pattys for years. They are kinda nasty, but she loves them. Gotta pick the bones.
Why did you drain the salmon juice? Been making them over 50 years. I don't know how long my mother and grandmother made them before me. As in the Depression era, and still today, don't waste anything! Plus the full flavor is with the juice. Peace be with you.
Hold the onion. I love salmon patties without onion. I buy the skinless & boneless salmon when I make them.
Hey Sean "Who Needs To Read The Label" Ely!
Grew up on these and mom would mix ketchup and mayonnaise together for a dipping sauce that we just spread on the top. Coleslaw or potato salad on the side. And a fancy little relish dish with tiny sweet pickles, green onions, radishes and little yellow pickled peppers. LOL That relish dish was on the table for every meal. So so good, great memories. Thanks for sharing!
If you open the wide end of the can, the fish slides out in a big chunk. It is canned in sections that allow you to separate the sections, remove the bones, then the dark meat and skin. I use only the pink salmon meat. Then I add an egg, salt and pepper. I make them into Pattieβs and roll them in just corn meal. I roll them 2 or 3 times in the meal, then chill them for about 30 minutes. Fry them in Crisco. I get them total crispy. Yum!!!
My mom made them using saltine crackers instead of cornmeal and flour.
Same as frying a goat turd. Now please show grandma's fried chk lol
They look amazing!! I cook them on Saturday mornings with grits, eggs and homemade biscuits for my family
Did you not pick out the bones?
Love salmon patties. Fix them quite often
Um sir I feel uncomfortable with this video π
The bones always freak me out. I still eat them. Those look great btw. Totally wanna make a sandwich with them
That is crazy, I have never ever in my life ever seen a can made where you need to open it from the bottom. You were right when you said, Why would they make it like that… All the had to do was turn the label around. haha.
Daaam Dog ! you made me so proud Nephew finally has the strength and IQ to Master the Can Opener AND now this ππ
My grandma used to make these for breakfast with buttery white rice!!! Absolutely delicious!!!
I would add a small dash of the lipton onion soup mix when its ready melt a slice of cheese on it and eat with a runny egg
Loved this nostalgic, grandma love laden video. And look at you with all those little freckly fingers. π₯°
me screaming at the screen FLIP THAT CAN
My grandmas are both dead so it's okay for me to say this: not stellar cooks. Open some cans, dump in a pot/casserole dish, no seasoning kind of stuff that gives the Midwest a bad rep. Mom learned from that so it's what I grew up on too. I never saw my mom use fresh onion, garlic, herbs, anything like that ever in my childhood. Was very motivated to learn to cook for real when I went to college.
And you don't need a double boiler, you can use a heatproof (metal/glass) bowl in a pot of boiling water. π
Hard to watch any video involving Salmon . Fish π π is my Favorite food but that stuff the bottom of the barrel π Smoked salmon Another story ! π My 92 yr old dad eats that crap and β€οΈs it ?? Well u Cubbies got us last nite ( I do like William Contreras , He would Fit well on the Brew Crew ! π€ ) But a win tonite 3/4 is more than Sufficient. ! Next time do ANY other type π Fish ! Peace out Player π
Because what's better than a Debbie Ely video.
I want to know about your Gmas spaghetti dish?π
My favorite struggle meals were always potato pancakes or halushki (noodles & cabbage).
Thanks!
Oh God, I despise salmon patties.
Sean opening up that can of salmon gives new meaning to the term "struggle meal".
The ole poor man's crabcakes. Yeah buddy!
My mom would take the bones out of it I looked through comments no one else ?
Nothing beats your mum's or grandmas cooking. My grandmas salmon paddies were nearly this exact same recipe but hers had turmeric mashed potato in it as well.
It's surprising how perfectly well Mash potato pairs with salmon.
