Instructions
- Open your 2 cans, drain them and dump into a good sized mixing bowl. Flake your salmon with a fork. Remove any skin and bones if you want.
- Add mayo, crumbs, green onions, onions, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Gently combine and set aside.
Making the Salmon Cake
- Place a cup of the crumbs on to a shallow bowl or plate. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, over medium high heat, heat your oil until shimmering or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
- Make 6 patties, discs or hockey pucks, approximately 1 inch thick and 3 to 4 inches wide. Carefully coat each cake in crumbs, on top, bottom and sides, and place on parchment paper.
- If patties will not hold their shape you have two options. If they are dry and won't hold together add one tablespoon of mayo until they will. If the burgers are too moist add crumbs, one tablespoon at a time until the hold their shape.
- Place salmon cakes, one a time, into your skillet. I usually cook 3 at a time.
- Cook the salmon cakes without moving, until a nice golden brown, usually about 3 minutes per side. I usually nudge them a little to make sure they aren't sticking. I just can't help myself. Also, I lift the edge to check them just after at least 2 minutes, just to make sure I don't burn them. You only want to flip these once.
- Place cooked cakes on to a paper towel lined plate or platter.
- Serve immediately with mayo, tartar sauce, lemon or anything else you desire. Enjoy!
Tartar Sauce Recipe
- Combine all ingredients together in a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors all blend nicely together .
- This Tartar Sauce recipe is a taste as you go recipe. Literally, taste it as you make it. For example, when adding the relish start with 3 tablespoons and have a taste and see if you prefer 4. Same with the dijon or yellow mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
Baked Salmon Patties
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Prepare your patties in the same way as the frying method. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent the patties from sticking. Place your salmon patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until they're a golden brown and crispy. After 10 minutes, flip the patties carefully to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.

- Fresh Salmon Fillet - Remove any skin from the 1 ⅓ pounds salmon and dice into quarter inch chunks. The smaller the better. In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, green onion, onion, mustard, parsley, salt, pepper, crumbs and salmon. Gently combine and cook as directed.

- Wild-caught salmon tends to have more flavor than farmed or canned salmon.
- Using canned salmon? Be sure to drain it well.
- Do not flip salmon patties frequently while cooking. Let them cook to golden brown on one side before flipping them over.
- Salmon mixture too moist to hold its burger shape? Add some more crumbs and if the mixture is too dry, add extra mayo.
- Remove any salmon bones. While their bones are soft and edible removing them improves the texture of your patties.
- Aim for even sized patties. This will make cooking more even.
- Use a good frying oil. A neutral oil with a high smoke point like canola or vegetable oil is best for frying salmon patties. Avoid using olive oil which doesn't work well for pan frying.
