Salmon cakes, known to some as salmon patties, are a quick dinner and a great way to use homemade breadcrumbs. You can also substitute tuna in this recipe if you don’t have access to canned salmon.

These simple salmon cakes don’t need any special equipment, simply a mixing bowl and a good skillet. I normally use my cast iron skillet for nearly every recipe, but I recently got a ceramic skillet and really like it for these salmon cakes.

Method

In mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except butter and olive oil.

Form into 5-6 patties and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. (I cook the rice while it chills.)

In a skillet, over medium heat, add butter and olive oil.

Once butter is melted, add salmon patties and cook them 5-6 minutes each side. Add more oil if necessary.
