Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)

I love making salmon patties, and I’ve got the perfect list for you. Here’s what you’ll need:

400g cooked or canned salmon
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 small grated onion
1 minced garlic clove
2 sliced shallots
1/3 cup fresh dill
2 eggs
1/2 cup parmesan
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil

If you need substitutes or want gluten-free options, don’t worry. Use 1 cup of raw cauliflower rice for a low-carb choice. For gluten-free, try 1 cup of crushed rice crackers or almond meal.

If you’re out of salmon, tuna or sardines are great alternatives. Pink or red canned salmon are tasty too. Remember, use fresh ingredients and be creative with substitutions for delicious salmon patties!

Instructions

I love making salmon patties at home. It’s easy and fun! First, I preheat my oven to 430°F. While it’s heating up, I mix grated onion with breadcrumbs in a large bowl.

Then I add all the other ingredients except the salmon and mix them well.

The key to forming salmon patties is keeping the fish flaky. I gently fold in the salmon last, making sure not to break it up too much. This keeps the patties light and fluffy.

For baking salmon cakes, I use a little trick. I heat some oil on a baking tray in the oven. This helps create a crispy crust.

Once the oil is hot, I place the patties on the tray and spray them with a bit more oil.

I bake the patties for 15 minutes, then flip them over. After spraying the other side, I pop them back in for another 5 minutes.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

I use an ice cream scoop for my salmon patties. It makes them all the same size. I don’t press them down on the tray to stop them from sticking.

Adding lemon zest or capers gives them extra taste. It’s a great way to make them more delicious.

Grate the onion over the breadcrumbs for a special trick. It makes the patties soft and tasty. Using the whole can of salmon, skin and bones, doesn’t hurt. You won’t even notice them in the end.

For storing salmon patties, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for three days. If you want to freeze them, put them on a baking sheet first. Once frozen, move them to a freezer bag. To cook, thaw them in the fridge overnight.

Reheating is easy. Just put them in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. They’ll be crispy outside and warm inside. With these tips, you’ll be great at making salmon patties!
