Open in Pepper →A Can Of Salmon Saves Dinner
A can of salmon and a sleeve of crackers has been getting supper on the table for generations. It keeps in the pantry, it cooks in about fifteen minutes, and most everybody at the table will eat it.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights nothing got thawed, when payday is still a few days out, or when they want something hot and crisp without running to the store.
Every recipe here starts with canned salmon: Tasty and Tender Salmon Cakes, Old Fashioned Salmon Patties with cornmeal, Momma's Salmon Patties made with saltines, Air fryer Salmon patties, Cajun Salmon Cakes, Salmon Patties with Dill Cream Sauce, and an old-school salmon loaf.
Quick Tips
- 1
Drain the salmon well
Press the salmon in a strainer for a minute or two to get the liquid out, or your patties will fall apart in the skillet.
- 2
Mash the bones in
The soft round bones in canned salmon crush right down with a fork and disappear into the mix, so there's no need to pick them out.
- 3
Chill before frying
Shape the patties and set them in the fridge 15 to 20 minutes so they hold together when they hit the hot oil.
- 4
Don't crowd the skillet
Fry 3 or 4 patties at a time in about 1/4 inch of oil, 3 to 4 minutes a side, until the crust is deep golden.
