Canned Salmon Patties Recipe
Lately, I’ve become a huge fan of making homemade burgers, but not the typical beef kind—I’m making fish burgers. First, I tried tuna burgers, and they were a huge hit.

Then, when I discovered canned salmon (it comes packaged like tuna but in water, without oil), I wanted to try it too, and I liked these salmon burgers even more.
This is the kind of recipe I love: easy, quick, and the results are fantastic. It’s a different way to eat burgers, just as good as traditional ones, and it even includes fish. Highly recommended for both adults and children.
I assure you they’re delicious, so I hope you’ll make them at home and let me know what you think!

- Add the rest of the ingredients: garlic, onion, red and green bell pepper, the eggs, and half a cup of breadcrumbs or cornmeal.
- Mix all the ingredients, take portions to make small cakes, and coat them in corn flour so they absorb moisture, cook better, and get a crispy outer layer.
- Fry them in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve and enjoy!
