Nico’s Salmon Cakes

I’ve received a few requests for this one, and I had to wait until they were back on the menu to snap some pictures. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions 🙂

Here is what you need:

  • 1 7.1 oz Pouch of Salmon, I use Chicken of the Sea
  • 2 Large Egg Whites
  • Dash of Salt
  • Dash of Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • 1 Cup Bread Crumbs (I use homemade ones)
  • Vegetable Oil for Frying
  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula, Whisk
  • Paper Towel lined plate, and that salt shaker one more time
  • Large Bowl

Start by preheating your oil. I have mine set on medium heat, you only need a little bit of oil for frying, just fill your pan about 1/4 deep. While the oil is heating, separate your egg whites and give them a good mix in your mixing bowl.

Add in your seasonings, and give it another good mix. Add in your salmon, and mix well with CLEAN HANDS, breaking up any large pieces of Salmon. Add in your bread crumbs and continue mixing.

At this point your cat will pay a visit to the kitchen, and demand a salmon cake. Ignore the cat, and Roll your Salmon mixture into a ball, about the size of a large meatball. Give it a slight squish, and continue making the cakes.

Carefully place the salmon cakes in the preheated oil, and fry until they are golden brown on one side. Check them often, so they do not burn. Give the cakes a flip, and then one more squish, to make an even Salmon cake. They only take a few moments on each side, but feel free to let them cook to your family’s preference. My hubby likes his Salmon Cakes well done 😉

Once you have your desired doneness, place the Salmon cakes on the paper towel lined plate and salt them. Serve the Salmon Cakes warm along with your favorite sides.

 

My batch made 5 large cakes, but sometimes I like to make mini-cakes for my toddler. They are pretty tasty, and an inexpensive meal to make too. Just watch out for the demanding house-cat. I guess he can have the leftovers, if you have any 😉

  1. Love the picture of your kitty! My cat always wanders in whenever we open up a pouch of tuna! I always give him a bite…..can’t resist 🙂 Ellie

  2. Thanks Ellie! He is a great kitty, and my side-kick in the kitchen 😉 I’m the same way, if the cats hear me get out the can opener, they run into the kitchen meowing.

  3. Yum, those look good! My husband loves salmon cakes, too. I always have canned salmon in the pantry…hmm, I’ve never seen fish sold in a pouch, interesting!

  4. Thanks Susan! I like the pouch, there is nothing to drain, and no bones to pick out. It is pretty handy 🙂

  6. Thanks Marva! They are really easy to make, and it is one meal that even Mr. Picky will eat. I think that the Salmon (locally) only cost me $1.83, so you can’t beat the price. If only I had some of your Breaded Okra to go along with them 😉
