Description

This salmon cake recipe delivers crispy, flavorful, and easy-to-make seafood cakes perfect as an appetizer, lunch, or dinner. Customize with your favorite veggies and enjoy them pan-fried or baked for a healthier alternative. Also known as salmon patties or fritters!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can of salmon, drained
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Drain the canned salmon thoroughly. In a large mixing bowl, flake the salmon with a fork, removing any bones or skin if desired.
  2. Mix the Salmon Cake Mixture: Add the breadcrumbs, chopped onion, fresh parsley, beaten egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the flaked salmon. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the Salmon Cakes: Take a spoonful of the mixture and form it into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  4. Cook the Salmon Cakes: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon cakes for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • Use High-Quality Salmon for best flavor.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can result in tough cakes.
  • Chill Before Cooking: Chilling the patties for 15-20 minutes helps them hold their shape.
  • Control the Heat: Ensure the skillet isn’t too hot to prevent burning.
