Salmon patties are a staple in the South that I grew up in.  My mom would make the best salmons patties and I love them.   I didn’t realize then of the health benefits of fish, that was the last thing on my mind.

Two of these patties contain more calcium than a glass of milk.   And if these salmon patties are served with wild and brown rice and steamed vegetables, it makes them a very healthy meal.    And this salmon patty recipe is a great go-to dinner when you have forgotten to thaw meat out that you have in your freezer.    We try to keep a couple of cans of pink salmon in the pantry for this awesome dish.
 

How to make The Best Salmon Patties:

We start this Salmon Patty Recipe by opening a couple of cans of salmon and removing the skin pieces and most of the bones.    I know everyone tells me that the bones are cooked and can be crushed in the patty but I usually pull most of them out.

In a large bowl combine the salmon, eggs, 1 cup of the bread crumbs, onions, celery, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.    Scoop up 1/2 cup of the mixture and form into patties.

Place each salmon patty on a parchment-lined sheet pan that is sprinkled with breadcrumbs.  Place the patty down and then turn them to coat both sides with the breadcrumbs.   This salmon patty recipe will make  8 patties.

Heat the butter in a large skillet and fry 4 patties at a time until golden brown.     Serve garnished with lemon slices or wedges and sprinkles parsley or thyme.

    Those look delicious! I love salmon, especially if I can get every single little speck of bone out of it. 🙂

    These patties look awesome. I haven't had one in years. My mother used to fry these in her iron skillet and they were just tremendous. I've got to make some now.

    My hubs makes salmon patties (a family fav), recipe is slightly different. He doesn't put celery or onions in his…but I think he should.
    Pinning it to get him to make, hehe

    Have you grilled these? Mine aren't quite thick enough to hold together on the grill, but I think that would be SO good!

    Can you believe that considering all the seafood we eat, I've never had salmon patties…or any fish patties for that matter. They look so light and fresh with the lemon juice and celery.
    Thank you for sharing, Evelyn.

    I have loved salmon patties all my life. I make them just a little differently. Instead of scallion I grate about 1/2 large onion and a carrot into the mixture and add in about 1/2 fresh copped parsley. I alternate using matzoh meal or cracker meal instead of bread crumbs.

    I have just got to add one thing to your delicious sounding recipe that will make them even better. I learned this from growing up on salmon patties also. When you open the cake, drain off the oil (or water) into a small bowl. Stir in 1 T. of baking powder with a fork andlet it set till you get everything mixed together. Before you roll them into patties, pour in your mixture and mix well. Then proceed as usual. I have found that this makes them crispy (even without the bread crumbs).

    Made these last night, they were very good. I had to use panko, and maybe that made me have to add some extra water so they would hold together. But the panko made the outsides extra crunchy along with the celery. I made a fast aioli to go along with them. And still good and fairly crunchy the next day! Thanks very much!

    A delicious sauce is yellow mustard mixed in mayo. So simple but fantastic!

    I leave out onions and celery, add dill weed and lemon juice, crush the salmon bones take off the skin and drain. 1 egg per can and bread crumbs. Frying in butter does sound better. Thanks.

    The bones in the salmon are edible and a good source of calcium.

      Yes you are very correct. I just have always removed them but I do know so many people that crush them up in the mixture. Thanks

    I made these last night. I grew up eating these and loved my mom’s cooking but she never added a little lemon juice to hers. I loved it with the lemon juice added! Will definitely make these again!

      I’ve always baked mine at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of patty. Can’t wait to try this recipe this week.
