Last Thursday at 7:58 p.m., Dad nearly set the smoke alarm off while “testing” a skillet for oil heat. We were laughing so hard we forgot the hockey game was even on. That’s the thing with Canned Salmon Patties — simple, humble, but the kind of food that brings everyone into the kitchen[1]. Quick, cheap, wicked filling, and honestly, you can throw ‘em together faster than you can line up at Tim Hortons.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Canned Salmon Patties

Canned Salmon Patties

  1. Drain salmon and pick out skin and bones if you’d like. Some folks leave them in — extra calcium.

  2. Mix salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, spices in a bowl.

  3. Whisk eggs and fold into the salmon mixture until combined.

  4. Shape into patties about the size of a hockey puck (3-inch wide, ¾-inch thick).

  5. Heat oil in skillet over medium. You’ll hear that first sizzle — music.

  6. Place patties in pan, 3–4 at a time, avoid crowding.

  7. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

  8. Set on paper towel to drain.

  9. Serve hot with lemon wedges or a dollop of tartar sauce.

Sprinkle in ½ tsp Cajun spice blend. The smell of smoky paprika fills the kitchen. Works wonders when you’re craving a little kick.

3. Air Fryer Shortcut

Storage & Food Safety

 

Don’t leave cooked patties out for more than 2 hours — food safety matters, even if you’re mid-NHL playoff chatter.

FAQs about Canned Salmon Patties

 

Q: Do I need to remove all the bones?
Not really. They soften during cooking, and most folks never notice.

Q: Can I bake instead of fry?
Yep. 400 °F for 15 minutes on a parchment-lined tray. Flip halfway for even browning.

Q: Can I swap breadcrumbs?
Use crushed crackers, oats, or even leftover rice. Texture changes, but still tasty.
