Salmon Patty Ingredients

These are the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this salmon patty recipe:

· Salmon: This easy recipe starts with a can of canned salmon.

· Bread crumbs: Use store-bought bread crumbs or make your own at home.

· Onion: You’ll need ¼ cup chopped onion for flavor and texture.

· Egg: An egg lends moisture and helps bind the patty together.

· Olive oil: Fry the salmon patties in olive oil.

How Do You Make Salmon Patties?

Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make salmon patties at home:

1. Drain the salmon and reserve the liquid.

2. Add the crumbs, onion, and egg to the salmon. Shape into patties.

3. Cook the patties in oil until golden brown.

How to Store Salmon Patties?

Store your leftover salmon patties in a shallow, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The best way to reheat them is in a skillet on the stove (to re-crisp them), but you can use the microwave in a pinch. Can You Freeze Salmon Patties?

Yes! But it’s best to freeze the salmon patties before cooking them. Form the patties, then flash freeze them on a baking sheet. Transfer the frozen patties to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. Thaw the patties in the refrigerator, then cook them according to the recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned salmon?

Yes, you can use fresh salmon. Cook the salmon first, then flake it before mixing it with the other ingredients. Fresh salmon gives the patties a lighter, fresher taste, but canned salmon is convenient and works well too.

How do I prevent my salmon patties from falling apart?

To prevent your salmon patties from falling apart, make sure to use enough binder (such as eggs and breadcrumbs) to hold them together. Chilling the patties for about 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator before cooking can also help them maintain their shape.

Can I bake salmon patties instead of frying them?

Yes, salmon patties can be baked. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and cooked through.

Can I make salmon patties ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the salmon mixture and shape the patties in advance. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. This can save time, especially if you’re planning to serve them for a meal or a gathering.

 
 

How can I make gluten-free salmon patties?

To make gluten-free salmon patties, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers. You can also try using almond flour or oats as a binder.
