Thanks for visiting Patty Cake’s Pantry.
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon ($1.25)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped ($0.14)
- 20 saltine crackers, crushed ($0.25)
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon black pepper ($0.04)
- 2 eggs ($0.38)
- Vegetable oil for frying ($0.78)
- Pour about ½ to 1 inch of oil into the bottom of your skillet.
- Drain liquid from canned salmon.
- Place drained salmon in a bowl and break into small pieces.
- Add crushed saltine crackers and chopped onion to salmon mixture.
- Mix well until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add eggs, one at a time and mix well.
- Allow bowl of salmon mixture to rest for about 10 minutes so that the flavors can become more fully incorporated. (This also allows the texture to become better for making patties).
- Turn on stove to medium heat to heat the oil in your skillet.
- Form 6 burger sized patties from the mixture while the oil heats.
- When the oil is hot enough to immediately begin to sizzle when a tiny speck of the patty is dropped in, carefully place the patties into the hot oil ensuring that they are not touching.
- Cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Be careful when flipping them over to ensure that you don't splash hot oil out of the pan.
- Serve as a meat entree with vegetable side dishes, or serve on a bun or dinner role as a burger.

We love salmon burgers topped with coleslaw! Such a refreshing change to your usual sandwich!
I’ve never tried mine with coleslaw. I will have to give that a try the next time I make these. Thanks for the great idea.
What a great option for a quick, healthy weeknight meal!
I know. I love when I can put together simple dishes like this for weeknights.
Love salmon patties! I haven’t made them in awhile though, but they always come out so good.
I didn’t even know that my husband liked Salmon Patties until I talked about making them for this challenge. It turns out that he ate them all the time as a kid.
