Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Form the mixture into patties.
- Place patties in a hot oil pan and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding herbs like dill or parsley to the mixture. If you're out of cornmeal, breadcrumbs work well as a substitute. Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve a crispy exterior. If you prefer a lighter version, use egg whites instead of a whole egg.
Serving Suggestions
These salmon patties are delicious served with a side of tartar sauce or a fresh green salad. They also pair well with coleslaw or roasted vegetables. For a heartier meal, serve them alongside mashed potatoes or rice. You can even put them in a bun for a salmon burger twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any 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, or pop them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, ensuring they stay crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Absolutely! If you prefer fresh salmon, cook it first, then flake it into the mixture. This will give your patties a fresher taste and a different texture. Just ensure it's fully cooked and cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients.
How can I make these patties spicier?
To add some heat to your salmon patties, consider mixing in chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the mixture. You can also substitute some of the black pepper with cayenne pepper for a kick. Adjust based on your spice preference for the perfect balance.
Can I freeze the salmon patties?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties! Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag once solid. They can be cooked from frozen; just increase cooking time slightly until they are golden brown and cooked through.
