Fresh salmon is used in these fresh salmon patties and it gives them an amazing taste. I normally use canned salmon for salmon patties, but I tried it with frozen salmon and it was so much better. They can be eaten on their own, over rice, or even in a bun. I served these over rice pilaf, which was absolutely amazing. Check out my Red Onion Rice Pilaf recipe that goes great with these fresh salmon patties.
How To Make Salmon Patties
Start out this recipe by baking the fresh salmon in the oven until it is cooked and flakey. Transfer the cooked salmon to a bowl and break it apart to let it cool down. Once it has a little time to cool down, add the red onion, bread crumbs, eggs, and seasonings. Form the salmon mixture into patties and brown them up on either a Cast Iron Reversible Grill/Griddle pan or skillet with some butter.
