Canned Salmon Patties

This is my go-to quick and healthy recipe for canned salmon cakes. These salmon cakes are similar to crab cakes but the main ingredient is canned salmon. It takes only 15 minutes to prepare this meal and it can be enjoyed with salad, bread, or even on its own. This beginner-friendly recipe is totally customizable and uses ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

Did you know that canned salmon actually contains more OMEGA-3s than fresh salmon? Canned salmon is rich in protein, vitamin D, and healthy omega-3 fats. Omega-3s are especially important for proper heart and eye functioning as well as for healthy hair and skin. This salmon patty recipe is just one quick and easy way to add the health benefits of canned salmon into your diet.
