Found this recipe while browsing the photo forum - the awesome looking photo had me checking out the recipe. Just knew that would be a hit at our house - and it was. I did up the sauce early in the day to let the flavors meld. I used canned salmon and made as posted - great Salmon Cakes! No changes needed for this one.The sauce so good it will be made and offered when serving salmon. It's a recipe that will be shared with family and friends.

I cut the recipe in half and perhaps this affected the moisture in the fish cakes -Also I used Salmon canned in water. I found the fish cakes a bit dry. I made the Lemon Herb Mayo early in the day to allow the lemon/thyme/ horseradish to fuse. I loved this sauce even better than your standard Tartar sauce and will serve this with other fish dishes. Thanks for posting this recipe! UPDATE: Made these again with leftover baked salmon they were perfect - Great flavor

We loved these! I used 1 large can of salmon, removing the bones and skin but not drained. With the added liquid, I needed every bit of the crumbs. After mixing and forming into loose patties, I coated the outsides with cracker crumbs and refrigerated them for an hour or so - a technique I always use to make sure they hold together when frying. I needed more than the 2 tablespoons of butter for frying since mine were cold and took a bit longer. These puppies were moist and fall-apart tender with a lovely light flavor; the thyme is subtle but it's there. The sauce - I am not a fan of mayo but the horseradish and thyme turned this into a treat! DH even abandoned his customary ketchup (ugh!) in favor of the mayo. I am so glad I chose this recipes.
