Salmon Cakes

Delicious, flavorful salmon cakes make a quick, easy meatless entree.

I make these healthy salmon cakes about once a week. They are very easy to make, taste great, and I always have the ingredients on hand – the only ingredients you must have are canned salmon and eggs. The rest of the ingredients are very flexible.

Leftovers are great too, either gently heated in the microwave, or even cold straight out of the fridge. I like them with Dijon mustard.

In fact, I often make extra salmon cakes, just to ensure I have some leftovers for the next day’s lunch!

A similar recipe that I really like is this easy recipe for tuna cakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 (7.5 oz cans) wild salmon, skinless and boneless, well-drained and flaked
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
