Salmon Cake Ingredients
- 1 (14.75-ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Remove any bones or large pieces of skin from the canned salmon to ensure a smooth texture in the cakes.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, beat the two eggs thoroughly. Add the flaked salmon, diced onion, and ground black pepper to the eggs, then mix well to combine all components evenly.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into eight equal-sized patties, approximately 2 ounces each, to ensure uniform cooking time.
- Cook the Salmon Cakes: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they become crispy and golden brown. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels if desired.
Notes
- Drain the canned salmon well to avoid excess moisture which can make the patties soggy.
- You can add breadcrumbs or crushed crackers for extra binding if you prefer a firmer texture.
- Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
- These salmon cakes can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
