Baked Salmon Patties Tips

Can you use fresh salmon to make baked salmon patties?

Canned salmon recipes are a convenient and economical choice, but if you prefer to use fresh salmon, you can still make this recipe. Since the salmon needs to be cooked first, leftover air-fryer salmon or baked salmon is perfect for these patties. You'll need about 1-3/4 cups flaked cooked salmon. Or, start with about 1 pound raw boneless salmon and prepare using one of the many ways to cook salmon. Let it cool slightly then gently flake it into pieces with a fork.

How do you keep salmon patties from falling apart?

The right balance of wet and dry ingredients will keep your salmon patties from falling apart. If they seem too wet, add more bread crumbs. If they are too dry and crumbly, stir in more mayonnaise.

Can you make salmon patties ahead of time?

Muffin tin recipes aren't just adorable and right-sized—they also make for great make-ahead meals! Prepare these patties right in the muffin tin then cover and refrigerate overnight before baking. When you get home from work, just pop them in the oven for a quick meal.

What do you serve with baked salmon patties?

Salmon patties pair well with so many condiments. Try tartar sauce, spicy slaw, mango chutney, tomato salsa or even pickled red onions.
