These easy and flavorful Salmon Patties are a great way to use leftover salmon. Quick to prepare, golden and crispy on the outside, moist and savoury on the inside with lovely big flakes of salmon! Made with canned salmon and simple ingredients, you’ll want to make it again and again.
This recipe walks you through exactly how to make salmon patties that hold together beautifully, cook up evenly, and turn that perfect shade of golden brown. If you’ve ever struggled with salmon cakes falling apart or tasting bland, this is the tried-and-true method I’ve been using since childhood.
One of the best things about these salmon patties is how reliable they are. Even people who claim they don’t like salmon often end up loving these. They’re flavorful without being overpowering and familiar enough to please even picky eaters, which is why they’ve earned a permanent spot in my dinner rotation.
They’re also the ultimate pantry dinner. When fresh meat is frozen solid or the fridge is running low, canned salmon comes to the rescue. I always keep a few cans on hand specifically for nights like that. Pair these patties with a simple side, and dinner is done without a grocery run.
Busy schedule? No problem. From start to finish, this meal comes together in less than 30 minutes, making it ideal for hectic weeknights when you still want something homemade and satisfying on the table.
Another bonus is how flexible this recipe is. While the base version is a classic for a reason, it’s easy to swap ingredients based on what you have available. Missing one item? Chances are there’s something in your kitchen that will work just fine. These salmon patties are forgiving, adaptable, and always delicious.
