I have been wanting to make salmon cakes for a long time, but we only buy canned salmon. I didn’t think you can make these with canned.
I’m glad I found this site because I love this recipe.
I find they don’t really have a strong smell or taste of fish.
I have a stubborn eater that when they tried them, loved it. In fact, they had one for breakfast too. Even had the last one for lunch. They don’t know what’s in the recipe and they call it a burger.
I had one the next day cold, and I liked it.
Luckily, salmon was on sale so we went back and about 20 cans.
So I will be making this alot……….how often can you eat salmon. 😉
Thanks for the recipe.

I have made these a number of times and they are always delicious. Yes, u can freeze the leftovers. I wrap them individually in parchment paper and place in a zipper bag. And yes u can use leftover salmon if u are fortunate enough to have it😉.

This is a great salmon cakes recipe. I could never understand why would I waste expensive fresh salmon to make burgers so I loved the idea of canned fish here. I made sure to squeeze out the moisture from the mix, refrigerated patties for 3-4 hours, and didn’t have any issues with them falling apart. Served with spiralized beets and mint pesto. Next time I want to try avocado pesto – the recipe is definitely a keeper!

This is such an awesome recipe!!! I had done this on my own with fresh salmon fillet and flour before – but it was much more expensive and time intensive. I even liked this recipe better!

Although they are so tasty they do not need a sauce, I happened to have some homemade avocado pesto in the fride (avocado, tons of basil, lemon juice, evoo, salt pepper, garlic, nutritional yeast all in the blender) and put a dollop on top of the cakes! SO GOOD

In reply to NB. Oh I'm sorry they were falling apart on you! Curious, was the quinoa freshly cooked or was it previously cooked? I wonder if the moisture from warm quinoa makes a difference (and if so I want to note in the recipe). Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed them anyway :) I recently made baked salmon cakes and am posting recipe soon so I bet baking these would be a good option as well.

I just made these, and while they were delicious, they wouldn’t hold together! Fell apart terribly in the skillet. I mixed some mayo, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, and garlic powder to eat with them and it was YUM. These made a mess but they were a tasty lunch.
