Easy & Quick Southern Salmon Patties

These delicious, crispy, crusty salmon patties are so quick to make with only a handful of ingredients. 

Perfect with a side salad and starchy side of choice (think polenta, rice, potatoes, or my best mac and cheese).

We had salmon patties (or salmon cakes) a lot when I was growing up in the South.

So nutritious and inexpensive compared to eating fresh salmon, and it's a delicious way to get your weekly (or daily) dose of omega-3's.

Pictured above is my crispy, savory Broccoli Bacon Salad with homemade ranch dressing - a perfect pairing for these salmon patties and also quick to put together.

This recipe makes 4 meal-sized portions, but you could also make smaller patties and serve them as appetizers with or without dip (would be great with any ranch dressing or lemon-type dressing).

Easy & Quick Southern Salmon Patties

Servings: 4 patties
Author: Savory With Soul

Ingredients

  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon (with bones and skin), drained with most of skin and bones removed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon dry dill weed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, more to taste
  • 1 cup cornmeal, divided
  • 1-2 tablespoon bacon fat, coconut oil, or olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add salmon, eggs, dill, black pepper, and ¼ cup of the corn meal.  Mix well with a fork or your hands, breaking up the salmon as you blend.
  • Put the rest of the cornmeal on a small-to-medium plate.
  • With your hands, gather one-fourth of the salmon mixture in a ball and roll in the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly.  Place the salmon ball into the heated pan, flattening down into a patty carefully.  Repeat these steps for the rest of the 3 patties.
  • Cook 5 minutes or until browned on the bottom.  Flip and cook the other side 5 minutes or until browned.  Serve right away. 
  • (Note: Can also be served cold - I've eaten these many times for breakfast when I needed something quick to grab out of the fridge on my way out the door.)
