Easy Salmon Patties

Salmon Patties are a fun way to get your seafood fix in.

Flaky salmon is tossed with sweet onions, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs, and spices, then fried until golden and crisp!

Serve them with your favorite dip, tartar sauce, or just enjoy them as is!

Ingredients for Salmon Patties

Salmon – Use either canned salmon for a quick meal or leftover cooked fresh salmon. Seasonings – This simple recipe uses a few basic seasonings, including old bay seasoning, fresh dill, and parsley. Lemon juice and lemon zest add a bit of freshness. Switch up the flavor by adding a little Dijon mustard, garlic powder, or onion powder. Breadcrumbs – These help bind the patties and make a nice crispy outside. Replace them with crushed saltine crackers or almond flour. Serve this salmon patty recipe with a fresh green salad or an easy potato salad for an easy dinner-time meal.

How To Make Salmon Patties

It doesn’t take long to make these little patties of joy.

Soften the onions in butter and then gently combine all ingredients per the recipe below. Form salmon cakes and chill. Fry the salmon patties in a large skillet until they are golden on both sides. Serve with tartar sauce or top with creamed peas. Double-check for any bones that might have been missed when your salmon was filleted.

Just like in my favorite crab cakes recipe, the chilling steps are essential to help these salmon patties hold together… this is the perfect time to put together your tartar sauce or remoulade sauce.

Leftovers

Leftover salmon patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 to 3 months.

Reheating Leftovers:

Stovetop: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking. Place the salmon patties in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 mins on each side, or until they are heated through and have a crispy exterior. Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the salmon patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through and have a crispy exterior. Did you make these Salmon Patties?
