Salmon Cakes (with Canned Salmon) | September 18, 2023

What are Salmon Cakes?

Salmon cakes, also known as salmon patties, are circular patties made from canned salmon. The salmon is mixed with eggs, breadcrumbs, and mayo for moisture and to keep the patty together as it is sauteéd on a skillet. These cakes are incredibly tasty, and the best part is — they’re made with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand.
