Smoked Salmon Cakes Course : Salmon From: WelcometoAlaska.com Serves: 6 Ingredients: 2 large cans salmon -- (15 1/2 oz cans) 1 cup fine cracker crumbs -- unsalted preferred 2 large eggs 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 cup finely chopped celery 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring 1 teaspoon dill weed flour for light dredging vegetable oil

Preparation: Combine the ingredients except oil and flour, mix. Shape into twelve 1/2" thick patties. At this point I lightly dredge the patties in flour to make a crisper golden crust. Place on a platter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Heat a thin layer of oil to sizzling. Cook the patties without crowding until nicely golden brown on each side (about 5 minutes per side). The liquid smoke gives them a wonderful smoked salmon flavor for a fraction of the price.
