Just made these! I am 65 years old and a great cook and I'm telling you this is the best food I ever ate! Six stars out of five.

"Avoid places that also sell tires and socks". I almost hurt myself laughing. Thank you Chef John for the culinary humor but more for the inspiration. :)

".....I guess you could check with a thermometer but I can't be bothered" that made me LOL! I just love your videos, thank you so much for sharing!

Oh my god my favorite food recipe posted by my favorite chef on my birthday, this couldn't get any better.

Yum! This looks delicious! I love all of those ingredients. Never made salmon cakes, I'll have to try it now! Thanks for the recipe!

Good idea, I love fresh salmon

I love this recipe and have made it probably 10 times now. One of the keys to keeping that salmon patties nicely shaped is make sure they’re very cold when you put them in the frying pan. John thank you again for another fabulous recipe.💋

I found your recipe just as I was deciding what to eat for dinner! Surprisingly enough, I had all the ingredients at hand! I never knew you could prepare fresh salmon that way! It’s in the fridge now while I’m making my salad. Not sure what starch to make with it so I’m sticking with potato. Can’t wait to try it! You know what I love about your recipes? Everything you use I don’t have to run out to buy!!

great!!!

I tried it out this past weekend and it was awesome. My family was so impressed. Thanks Chef John!!

Best food videos on KZfaq by far! Thanks. An absolute delight to watch.

I just love your videos. You remind me of my social worker when I was a kid; he was always funny and good with the kids. You rock!!

Just made this for my family with the remoulade sauce and broccoli and sweet potato. It was superb! They loved it. Thanks for helping me go from a scared cook to a confident one!

Delicious!!! My picky eater daughter ate it all up. Thank you!!!

Oh my, I love this guy !!! How great is he, and makes us go ahead and play with food .....Thank you chef, you are so easy to followed !!!

Probably the best salmon patty video out there, I followed a different video that did not chill the salmon mixture before hand, which makes forming the patties and crisping the outsides lots more difficult and also the patties didn’t want to stay together very well. Thanks for this video I can’t wait to try this version, it looks a lot more promising and definitely more delicious!

I've used this recipe several times. It really good. Pre make them and freeze them for later.

Note to self: Don't watch Chef John's videos when hungry.

Your recipe looks so darn good... better than the other recipes on utube! As a matter of fact I go to your channel to find a recipe that I need!

I love your humor as much as your recipes. Thank

Yes, I’ve watched several of your videos and your jokes crack me up! 😂

this man needs to be a lot more popular, he is freakin amazing!

just stumbled on your site--had some pieces of fresh salmon--and followed this---OOOOH MY STARS!!! So simple and SO GOOD---THANK YOU

You are the best KZfaq chef. Your recipes are all great and you're so witty and endearing in your commentary. Love watching your vids, thanks :)

Yum! I've been trying to get more vitamin D in my diet so this'll do it. Thank you chef!

Just made these. They were great! Lovely flavour, and melt-in-the mouth texture. Follow his tip about not overcooking - enough to brown both sides, but no more, and you will avoid the common problem with salmon that it can become too dry. I also followed his advice to rest the mixture in the refrigerator, which makes the patties easier to form and less likely to disintegrate in the pan. There is no binding agent (e.g. beaten eggs) with this recipe, which means you need to get the consistency of the mix just right. After forming the patties, I lightly sprinkled with flour to give a nice crisp coating. I've made fish cakes before with cooked salmon (+ mashed potato and beaten egg to bind). For taste and texture, these are in a different league.

Googled salmon cakes with fresh salmon... totally surprised & delighted to find it was my favorite Chef John! These are on for night.

I tried this recipe and it was extremely delicious! Thank you, Chef John!

Ah yeah it's all about the trinity! Looks great John!

The way you talk 😄 is like you're singing 🎤 lol awesome 👏 doing it right now! 😊 thank you!

I love how you make everything sound so easy thank you

Just made these yesterday with wild salmon (sans the capers since I didn't have them). It was delicious! Also made a teriyaki glaze on the side but it was great alone, with lemon, with the glaze.... All of the above. Thanks Chef John!

I switched to Chef John after being an avid watcher of the Barefoot Contessa....he is a breath of fresh air and so funny!

I love your videos Chef John.

OMG, this is the first video of his that I've ever seen. I love it!! So anxious to try this recipe now!!! And check out more of his videos. 😁👍

Soooo goooood!! My wife and kids are fully in!! Wife said it was a “write it down and put it in our cookbook!” Thank you sir!

Love your videos. Keep up the good work...

Chef John I made the salmon patties; I'm such a disaster in the kitchen but I thought I would attempt this because you always crack me up and your food is ALWAYS appealing to me. You'd be proud of me I wish I could upload a photo of my finished product. THEY WERE DELICIOUS! not bad for a guy who can barely boil water. I've looked everywhere (trader joes, whole foods and sprouts market) for the green zebra tomatoes but no luck... I'm in the Los Angeles area - do you know of any markets that would have "green zebra" tomatoes?

Grate recipe as usual . You rock not just in the kitchen but as a person . Humble and joyful as always . I enjoy watching you videos

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! these were amazingly out of this world !

This chef is giving me so much life! The food is awesome and he is so entertaining! (lol)

Eats the Salmon patty but didnt even touch his own salad. It's just there for decoration hhahahaha

this looks so yummy! - making me really hungry love fried fish, and this dish is an elevated version with all the extra ingredients added, yummy

Wow! Looks fantastic. I reckon I could smell the flavours off that pattie coming out of my speaker & not a hint of potato or egg anywhere. So simple yet beautifully presented. I agree wild is the "way".

I like this man's voice....makes looking at his video interesting!

The last "enjoyyyy!" word is really fun.

The table cloth! Hahahahaha! Love it. I need to try these! Stay safe and healthy out there! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

Really enjoyed this one...with just the right amount of added humor. Thanks for your help in the kitchen.

I've never heard anyone so excited about salmon patties. Oooooold cleaver!

I felt good about myself when I got the tarter sauce joke lol

A must try recipe! Thank you for sharing and demonstrating it so nicely 🙏🌹

I just made this and served it with the remoulade from your remoulade video which I made yesterday. This tasted SO GOOD! I'll definitely be making it again soon!

MAN, that looks tasty. This is what we southerners consider the "big city" version of our deep-south-style "salmon patties"..which use canned salmon. I know many people would recoil in disgust at the thought [lol], but they're actually REALLY good...and cheap [lol]. This version has been on my to-do list forever. Gonna have to try it now that Chef John told me to.

Tyger, Tyger burning bright, wants a salmon cake with all his might. So did this fish that's from the sea get made into a Patty for thee? Yes, yes it did. Lovely recipe and video Chef John! Blessings ChefMike

I'm drooling! Can't wait to try this recipe....

I would Love this! Hope to have it Soon! Thank you, Chef John

"You guys are the William Blakes of your fresh salmon cakes!" Love it, Chef! I've never made these using fresh salmon! I can't wait to try these! (But I have to leave out the capers.)

Bet the fresh salmon really makes the difference here, hope to try this with tinned too though

Oh. my. goodness. This salmon pattie looks heavenly! I love the addition of the capers and the garlic. NICE add. Will be fixing these soon ;) Thanks for sharing!

Mmm, salmon cakes. These were always my number one request for home cooked birthday dinners as a kid. Definitely will have to give your recipe a try :)

He sounds way too happy lol.

I love your videos so much.

You are a great cook, and so educationally humorous.. The capers are a new addition for me can't wait to try it. TY

Another great one chef! You are the master of classics, and the commentary is always spot on. Unique is putting it lightly,,,

Did you use 43 capers this time? Oh man, I laughed so hard when you said that in the other salmon cake video!

Today I showed my mom Food Wishes. That was a few hours ago... Hi mom!

Nothing beats the flavor, the simplicity and the frugality of salmon cakes. My sister in law substituted stuffed green olives for the capers for a different but equally pleasing taste.

Idk how I just found this channel. Your voice reminds me kids' shows that makes learning so fun. Thanks for the recipe!

I love "William Blake of your fresh-salmon cakes" :)

Chef did you steal the tiny wooden spoon from my daughter's Barbie kitchen? 😃 love this though.

Chef John you are my trusted go to guy, everything you show us is incredible & I love the way you explain everything. Thank you for all your efforts. Kind regards & thanks from the UK

I enjoy all your recipes! Thanks for sharing them.

Don't throw away the skin! Salt it and put under the broiler in you toaster oven until crisp. Makes a great chaser and full of the good fat salmon is known for. Japanese restaurants do this ...very yummy

Forgot to make tartar sauce for the condiment so I substituted sour cream. Success!

The best recipe for salmon patties! Made them and everyone gives them a thumbs up!

You are so funny! I love your humor and the tartar sauce joke lol....can't wait to try! Thanks for being original.

You should narrate my life.

I don't usually comment here, but I watch a ton of your videos! I was gifted with a 7lb wild-caught salmon that met its demise on Thursday and I've now had it in my fridge for 3 days. We've had two meals from it, but we still have 4.5 lbs. left. Trying not to waste it -- it's gorgeous! Question: Could these cakes be mixed and formed and then frozen? I'm trying to avoid the freezer, but we're a little salmoned out and these look delicious. Any advice is appreciated! Love your channel!

CAPERS! The moment I saw those, I knew this would be awesome. I can't wait to try this!

Another great recipe Chef John, can't wait to try, thanks so much, regards from Ireland 😊🇮🇪🍀

You should know this: Besides parasites inside the salmon (which is killed by putting the salmon in the freezer for 24-36 hours), there are bacteria on the surface of the lax. 4:56 You say "Don't be afraid to leave them a little medium inside, just like a salmon filet". Well, that's the thing. It's completely different compared to a filet since the filet is cooked on all sides. That way, it's ok to leave the filet a little medium inside because all the bacteria dies from the heat when you cook the surface of the filet. And the parasites (if there's any) are killed in the freezing process. Minced salmon is therefore completely different. Since you've chopped the salmon up there's bacteria inside the patty and therefore you must cook it all the way through! Exactly the same applies to minced meat - a hamburger patty must be cooked all the way through. Even if beef and whole meat pieces can be cooked to raw, medium and so on. And even if a lot of (not very intelligent) people would like their hamburger patty to be cooked to medium/medium well, It's wrong. But hey, if you like bacteria, go for it. Other than that, nice video. Btw, Google it if you don't believe me!

1:46 It's patrick star

I missed the last few minutes of his monologue because I was laughing so much !! He really is good !

I made these (with canned salmon) and they were delicious! Thanks for another great recipe!

Would I be committing any crimes if I put this on a bun and served with french fries?

What, no egg? Does the mayo take the place of the egg as a binder? -- This looks great. I've never used capers. (My bad.) Now I wonder if a little lemon juice or zest, or orange juice or zest, and a little dill would add to this. -- Hmm, my grandmother and dad made salmon patties differently (and used the canned salmon, ick) but oh, I like this better. Think I'll try this next store trip. Mirepoix / holy trinity = good anyway. Nice fresh salmon, mmm, good stuff.

Thank you John for your simple and easy recipes. This salmon cake recipe was perfect. You show how to make Yummy for our Tummy.

As a viewer from Baltimore, I honestly can’t tell you how much I appreciate you using authentic Old Bay, and not just some “Chesapeake” seafood seasoning crap. It’s really not the same and anyone who knows, knows.

In case any food bloggers show up xD

A table cloth meaning that restaurants use the name Remoulade sauce to make it sound fancy.

I really like your recipes and the way your plates look upon service. The presentation of the video is ALWAYS good. Thanks for sharing.

So great. You are a genius. Funny, clever, and a great chef.

I made them, and they were mushy, I had to add flour in the mixture to keep it together but the taste was good those capers really gave flavor, I use shallots instead of onion

Yes Chef John I shop at Walmart. Thank you for that dig at the end of your video.

Man! You've made everything I've been craving lol

These are the best we have found. We search no more. Wonderful.

Chef John shading walmart! YESSS

For my brother Dave, who would sit for hours at the table, crying and refusing to eat my sweet mother's canned salmon cakes being told he could not leave the table without cleaning his plate. Maybe with Chef John you can find some redemption, dear brother.

This totally cracked me up.. Thank you for this ! and for the info too.
