Savory Salmon Cakes are quick and delicious patties made with flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, and a blend of seasonings, perfect for a meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14.75 ounces) pink salmon, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, green onions, egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon cakes to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently using a spatula.
- Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or on a bun as a sandwich.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños to the mixture.
- Substitute canned tuna or crab meat for the salmon for a different flavor profile.
