This best-ever salmon patty easy recipe instantly upgrades your canned salmon for a healthy meal packed with Omega 3 and an excellent source of calcium. Kids love this and as a Millennial Mom, I love this quick dinner favourite that comes together in just 5 minutes!
Would it be weird if I told you I LOVE eating the tender bones in each can of wild sockeye salmon? Traditionally, fresh-packed whole fillets, including skin and tender bones which provide you with an excellent source of calcium and omega-3 fatty acids.
Canned salmon is an easy way to protein to your meals. If I'm in a pinch, I would bring a can to work and add it to my green salad. Or if I'm sick, I would add some salmon to my congee. Because it is easy.
I always buy Wild sockeye salmon caught in Alaska and is MSC certified sustainable.
Nutritional Value of Canned Wild Sockeye Salmon
- 12g of protein per 55g serving
- Natural source of Omega 3 polyunsaturates
- Low in saturated fat
- Free of trans fat
- Good source of calcium
Can I use canned tuna instead of salmon?
I would not recommend using tuna as a replacement. Tuna has a strong unique flavour that just doesn't quite gel with the other ingredients in this recipe. I like the fattiness that salmon gives. The tuna is much leaner and would create a dry patty.
If you have leftover fresh cooked salmon, this recipe is a great way to use up leftovers. Sometimes, it's worth the extra 10 minutes to roast salmon just for this recipe!
This recipe also goes great with tartar sauce and a sprinkle of dill! It is also very easy to make (especially with the Vitamix blending bowl)!

Ingredients
- 1 can (170g) wild sockeye salmon, drained

- dash of salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, more if needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the extra virgin olive oil together. Mix well.
- Divide and form into 4-6 evenly sized patties. I like to use a ⅓ cup measuring cup and pack the ingredients in it.
- In a large non-stick fry pan over medium heat, heat oil.
- Cook patties until golden brown and crispy. Approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve and enjoy immediately with a quick squeeze of of lemon juice if desired.
Notes
