Salmon croquettes or cakes or patties are a quick and easy and frankly, cheap meal. They go way back to our grandparents' time when fresh fish was not as easy to get or affordable, but canned salmon was easy to keep in the pantry for last minute quick meals that are healthy and satisfying. Sure you can get fancy and use fresh salmon but if you give these a try you might just find comfort in them like so many of our ancestors.
