Simply Super Salmon Patties Recipe

This salmon patties recipe is just a real treasure. It is a "keeper" in my file of kosher for Passover recipes because I can serve it at the Yom Tov table and tote them around on picnic chol hamoed. The filler of mashed vegetables make this a healthy recipe. And it doesn't hurt that kids of all ages just love them. Adapted from Spice and Spirit .
