I've used this one only with left-over Lake Michigan salmon, but it's plenty tasty.

Mix up a batch of your favorite buttermilk pancake batter. Sprinkle in flakes of cooked salmon and some chopped onion. Toss on a hot griddle the same as any other pancake.

Fish cakes,

2 quarts court boullion
1-2 lb. briefly poached filets(in court boullion)-flaked
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 med onion or 1 bunch scallions (minced)
bread crumbs
flour
olive oil for frying
3 eggs

The great things about fish cakes is how highly adaptable the recipe is. Feel free to add your favorite veggies and seasonings. Also, fish cakes taste great with all kinds of different sauces accompianing them, and the can run the gamut from casual snack with the boys during the game, served on buns with tartar sauce and chips. to a fancy entree break out the good silver, linen table cloth and napkins and fine china, when you serve them on a bed of angel hair pasta, stacked amoung breaded eggplant slices, topped with crawfish, shrimp, or lump crab meat and some gourmet sauce. Fish cakes are great. I like to use pike or panfish for fishcakes. They are so easy and quick to prepare.

Make a court boullion by adding sliced carrots, celery, and onion to a quart or two of water, simmer for 20 minutes, until the veggetables are tender, strain out vegetables and season with salt. Return to a simmer and add fish, simmer for just a few minutes, until fish just becomes opaque(fish will continue cooking later so you don't have to cook it all the way here.)

Remove fish to a large bowl, add the minced onion or scallions, or even shallots, a little garlic is good too. Add chopped red bell pepper or other veggies, add 1-2 beaten eggs, and enough breadcrumbs until mixture starts to come together, mix just enough to combine. form into patties of desired size with hands, dust patties with a little flour, dip in beaten egg, then dredge in breadcrumbs. preheat a skillet, a 1 Tbsp on olive oil, and add breaded patties to hot oil, fry until golden brown turn and brown other side, keep warm in oven, and serve immediatly with a sauce of some type. (tarter, vegetable puree, cream sauces are good too).
