Ingredients

  • 1 lb. can salmon, drained
  • 3 slices fresh bread, broken up
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup salmon liquid
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten slightly

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together well.
  2. Form the mixture into cakes or place in a loaf pan.
  3. Fry the cakes until golden brown or bake the loaf at 350°F for 35 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley, or even a dash of hot sauce for a kick. If you don't have fresh bread, breadcrumbs can be a suitable substitute. Ensure the mixture is not too wet; adjust with more bread if necessary. Try serving these salmon burgers on a bun for a twist similar to Lobster (Langostino) Rolls.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the salmon burgers with a dollop of tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon for brightness. They pair excellently with a side salad or sweet potato fries. For a heartier meal, consider serving them alongside Noodle, Tuna, Cream Of Celery Soup Casserole for a comforting combination.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the salmon cakes in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes per side, or microwave for a quicker option, ensuring they don't dry out.
