These baked salmon patties are loaded with fresh vegetables, herbs and Old Bay seasoning. Make this recipe using fresh or canned salmon!
Salmon patties, salmon cakes, salmon burgers, whatever you prefer to call them, they’re delicious, crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside!
I like to use leftover salmon from a previous meal myself, like from my Lemon Dill Salmon Pinwheels, although canned is fine to use as well.
When the salmon burger reaches 145 degrees F, it is done. – If you don’t have a thermometer, check that your burger is lightly crisp on the outside and that the meat inside is pink and flaky.
Ingredients in baked salmon patties
So many recipes out there use just canned salmon. While that’s fine, I prefer to use fresh salmon. I make some sort of salmon recipe once a week, so it’s definite possibility that there is leftover cooked salmon in the fridge.
Besides the fish, only a handful of ingredients go into making this recipe:
- diced bell peppers– any color you prefer is fine. I think red works well with the salmon because it’s a little sweeter.
- fresh dill– don’t use the dried dill from the spice aisle if you can help it. The flavor isn’t even close to fresh.
- eggs
- breadcrumbs– use panko if you want a crunchier texture
- Old Bay seasoning– This is the king of seafood seasoning. Of course, my recipe for all purpose seasoning would work just as well.
Making them couldn’t be any easier. Combine everything together in a bowl, form it into patties, and bake them up until they’re crunchy and golden brown.
I like to serve salmon cakes, crab cakes, and homemade fish sticks with slices of fresh lemon to squeeze on top for that nice acid kick. Lemon goes perfectly with fish. Another nice thing to have as a condiment is tartar sauce. Break a piece of the salmon patty with your fork and dunk it into the creamy sauce. I’ve even got a recipe to show you how to make tartar sauce.
A simple dressed salad of mixed greens, steamed vegetables, or rice is another favorite, too.
