On a scale of 1 - 10 I rate this product an 8+
Years ago my mother made Salmon Cakes/Patties for me at least once a week. I loved them but never thought to ask her what and how much of everything she used. I do know that she added corn meal, chopped onions and a nice big can of salmon with bones in. I actually liked the little crunch you would get when you bit into a bone. Since I didn't think to get her recipe it was lost when I lost her but I still remember them and have tried many times to copy what she made to the point of trying just about any recipe I run across as well as a few mixes here and there.
When I decided to try Zatarain's Salmon Cake Mix I had no doubt that it would be nothing like my mom's but after reading the directions I felt it would be quick and easy - which it is both. This mix calls for an egg, mayonnaise and canned salmon. All ingredients are mixed together, shaped into patties and refrigerated for 30 minutes. They are then fried in a small amount of oil browning on both sides. How simple is that!
Now for taste - they are delicious. A little on the salty side but not enough for me not to enjoy eating 2 of them before pushing away from the table. Texture wise - this is why I gave them an 8+ and not a 9 or above. Apparently there are dehydrated onions in the mix and the 30 minute refrigeration doesn't allow them to absorb enough liquid to make them soft again. Other than that and the slight saltiness, this mix is great. I will buy them again and they will go on my inventory list of products to keep on hand.
