Salmon Sausages

[Sitkaspruce]

So a couple weeks ago we took some of these;

and turned them into these......

Along the way we boned out the fish, cut them into chunks, semi-froze them (you need to do this, makes it so much easier), ran them through the grinder and a 7mm plate.

One was salmon with fresh herbs and garlic.....

and the other was salmon with oil. This one we left as patties as there is bread crumbs and flour, which makes it bind.

After mixing both in tubs, we left them in the fridge for 18 hours, to let the flavours infuse, then stiffed them or made 1 lbs packages.

These are amazing sausages/patties, lots of flavour and tasty!!!

Sorry for the pale picts, setting was wrong on the camera, the colour is much more "Salmon".......

Cheers

I love this!!

I have been on a processing tare the last few weeks, smoking and canning everything in sight. Just started making some kilebasa and pepperonis, but this is another thing icould do!

Can you elaborate on "herbs and spices" and amounts per/lb of salmon

Looks tasty Ken. :-D
My sausage guy down here made some salmon pepperoni and I have to say it was delicious!.

Them sausages look great, will definately have to give this a try!!! How long will they keep in the freezer?

Thanks for posting! Never thought about doing that to salmon. Great idea!
Maybe even try a light smoking for the sausages

Here you go Lorne


Fresh Herb & Garlic Salmon Sausages


-2lbs. Fresh, wild caught salmon tail meat- skins removed & cut into chunks
-8oz. Wild caught smoked salmon, broken into pieces - we did not add this
-3 Cloves of garlic, chopped - We added another clove/2 lbs of salmon
-3 Tblspns fresh dill, rough chopped
-3 Tblspns fresh flat leaf parsley, rough chopped
-Zest from ¼ lemon
-Juice from ¼ lemon
- ½ - ¼ Tspn smoked paprika (optional) -We added this, adds amazing flavour
- ½ Tspn celery salt
-1 Tbspn(ish) sea salt
- ½-1 Tbspn fresh cracked pepper
-Small (21mm) sausage casing (vegetarian available) - we went with the larger size as we thought the smaller size will dry out fast.


Salmon Sausage with Oil

For every 2.5 lbs of fish add the following;
- 3 tsp Salt (We use sea salt)
- 3 tsp of fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp of nutmeg
- 1 tsp of Corriander
- 1 tsp of cumin
- 1 tsp of turmeric
- 1/2 tsp of Red ground pepper (we used ground red chilli flakes to add a bit of heat)
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup of flour. We used Spelt as the wife has a reaction to Gluten
- 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. We use our own and add Italian seasoning to them.
- 1/2 cup minus a tbsp of olive oil

grind semi frozen, mix with the ingredients, adding water to make the consistancy you like. We added a small batch of water as we wanted to use these as patties instead of sausages, so ours are quite dry as compared to the sausage material.

Lots on the net, we tried these two and they are great. Will try a couple more next time and make some pepperoni as well.

I will have a batch going in the smoker next weekend, will let you know how they turn out.

It's just about time to start ice fishing for Kokanee here in the Cariboo. I will definitely be making some sausages for a different way to deal with them. Usually we either can them or smoke them, but this has really piqued my interest.
