Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Cakes
- 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 the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the flaked salmon, diced onion, and ground black pepper. Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
- Form the patties: Shape the mixture into eight equal patties, each weighing about 2 ounces for uniform cooking.
- Cook the patties: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown all over.
Notes
- Removing the bones from canned salmon improves the texture and eating experience.
- You can add herbs like dill or parsley for additional flavor.
- Serve with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon for enhanced taste.
- If you prefer, substitute vegetable oil with olive oil for a healthier option.
- Ensure the skillet is adequately heated before adding patties to avoid sticking.
