These Baked Salmon Patties are packed with flavorful vegetables and baked instead of fried. These salmon cakes are a healthy source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mist a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, flake the salmon. Add the chopped vegetables and all remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts. Shape each into an individual patty. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, turning once. The patties are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Serve with a side of rice, corn or quinoa and/or a green vegetable for a complete dinner or take a lesson from a southern girl and enjoy them for breakfast with grits!
Notes
Tips for the best salmon patties
Use canned salmon or cooked salmon flaked into small pieces.
Always pat the salmon dry or squeeze out any excess liquid to help the patties stick together better.
Add vegetables. But chop them finely. Large pieces of onion, peppers, or celery will make the patties fall apart.
Focus on flavor. Add garlic, black pepper, and a bit of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
Bake them on a hot pan brushed with oil to get a nice crispy finish.
