Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil the potato until tender, then drain and set aside.
- Drain the canned pink salmon and remove any bones.
- Chop the onion and combine it with the drained salmon, cooked potato, eggs, and cornmeal.
- Shape the mixture into patties.
- Fry the patties in oil over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal texture, ensure the potato is well-cooked and mashed smoothly before mixing. If you want a bit more flavor, consider adding herbs like dill or parsley. You can substitute the cornmeal with breadcrumbs for a different texture. If you prefer, use fresh salmon instead of canned for a fresher taste. These patties are a great alternative to the Salmon Biscuit Roll.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon patties hot with a side of tartar sauce or a fresh salad for a light meal. They pair exceptionally well with coleslaw or roasted vegetables. For a comforting twist, try them with a side of mashed potatoes. These patties are also delicious as part of a seafood recipes spread, alongside options like Shrimp Patties.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until heated through, or pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. This will help maintain their crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze salmon patties?
Yes, you can freeze salmon patties! Shape them and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cooking to retain moisture.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana, using 1/4 cup for each egg. Alternatively, you can mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, letting it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
How do I know when the patties are fully cooked?
The salmon patties are cooked when they are golden brown on the outside and firm to the touch. You can also check their internal temperature; they should reach 145°F. Additionally, the mixture should be heated through and flake easily.
