The Best baked salmon patty recipe

I’m so excited to share this baked salmon patty recipe with you all! I’ve been making it for my family for years, and it’s always a hit. My kids love helping me in the kitchen, especially when we get to make these tasty patties.

They’re perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion like a holiday meal. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make and require minimal ingredients, which is a must for busy parents like me. One of the things I love about this recipe is that it’s so versatile.

You can serve it on its own as a main dish, or add some extra veggies and a side salad for a more well-rounded meal. My family also loves to use these patties as a topping for salads or as a filling for wraps. And let’s not forget about the health benefits – salmon is packed with omega-3s and is an excellent source of protein.

The key to making these patties is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. I like to use wild-caught salmon and mix it with some chopped onion, egg, and breadcrumbs. The egg helps bind everything together while the breadcrumbs add a nice texture.

My secret ingredient is a squeeze of fresh lemon juice – it really brings out the flavor of the salmon. Baking these patties in the oven is so much easier than frying them, and it results in a deliciously moist and flaky texture. Simply shape your mixture into patties, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until they’re cooked through.

This recipe has been passed down through generations in my family, and I’m so glad I can share it with you all now.

🥘Ingredients

For the Patties

1 can (14.75 oz) salmon, drained
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 egg
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

For Baking

Non-stick cooking spray

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
3In a mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, Dijon mustard, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
4Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
5The mixture should hold together when pressed.
6If it is too dry, add a small amount of water; if it is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
7Divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal portions.
8Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.
9Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
10Bake the salmon patties in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
11The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
12Be careful not to overcook, as they can become dry.
13Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon patties cool for 5 minutes before serving.
14This allows the patties to set and makes them easier to handle.
15Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
