I tried tonight to make a comfort meal from my honeys childhood. When he was little his Mom made salmon cakes which he enjoyed very much. When she remarried, his step-dad didn't like them, so that put an end to them.
He's been having a rough couple weeks, so I thought I'd try to make them for him as a pick-me-up. FAIL!
I looked at about a dozen recipes online, and none were like those I remember making previously that I enjoyed myself. I seem to remember using mayo, but I couldn't find one that listed mayo as an ingredient. So I figured I was confused and made an interpretation of one I found online. Salmon, eggs, fresh bread crumbs, dill, and pepper. Mix, form, dredge, chill, and pan fry.
They were awful. The salmon was frozen fillets that I poached with lemon juice, vermouth, and some minced onion. It was fabulous. The bread and eggs were fresh, the dill was dried. I keep wondering if the vegetable oil was past it's prime, though oil turns over pretty quickly around here. I can't really say. I wonder if they were missing some mayonnaise?l
I might try again, but this time I'll just wing it!
