How Long to Cook Salmon Patties?
Salmon patties are an easy and tasty recipe to create, perfect for busy families on a tight budget. Savoury yet zesty with an appealing crunch on the outside, they’re versatile enough to use either fresh or canned salmon.
Canned sockeye or pink salmon works well in this recipe, removing any bones and skin before cutting into small pieces and chopping as directed below.
Cooking in a frying pan
Salmon patties are an easy and delicious way to add more fish to your diet. Made from either fresh or canned salmon, they make for an ideal quick dinner or lunch option – just fry in oil on the stove until golden-brown! This recipe makes four patties; but easily double or triple the ingredients if necessary for more. Additionally, these delicious little morsels pair nicely with different sides like mashed potatoes with peas, green beans or potato salad!
To prepare this dish, begin by draining and flaking the salmon in a bowl, discarding any bones or skin. Next, combine it with eggs, onion, mayonnaise, bread crumbs and spices such as garlic powder and Old Bay for seasoning – stirring in salt and pepper according to taste – before shaping into patties that you press into bread crumbs lightly so they adhere evenly.
If desired, salmon patties can be cooked in a skillet over medium heat until one side has turned golden brown before flipping and continuing cooking on the other. Alternately, bake these patties in an oven for 20 to 25 minutes as this produces more consistent texture than frying in a pan.
Salmon patties, when cooked properly, become tender and moist on the inside and golden crispy on the outside. You can serve these delectable treats hot or cold with various condiments like tartar sauce and lemon wedges for an unforgettable meal!
Alternatively, for a healthier alternative to salmon patties, an oven or air fryer are great ways to prepare them. When baking them in an oven preheated to 400 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange your patties on it and then spray/brush each patty with olive oil or use another spray/brush method; bake for approximately 10 minutes then flip each one and spray/brush with additional olive oil as necessary before flipping and baking for another 10-15 minutes until their exterior becomes crisp while their interior temperature reaches between 160 F-165 F at their center.
To serve your salmon patties, place them on buns or salad leaves. Reheat any leftovers either over medium heat in a skillet or by microwaving. To prevent overcooking of the fish cakes, it’s important to monitor them frequently and remove from heat before they have reached an ideal level of dryness.
Cooking in the oven
Salmon patties are an adaptable dish that can be enjoyed with various condiments. Try tartar sauce, mango chutney or tomato salsa as the ideal pairings. For additional flavor add finely chopped vegetables such as red peppers or scallions into the mix – doing so may give these delicious salmon patties an appealing crispy texture!
If you’re making salmon cakes, using only fresh fish is important for optimal results. Frozen varieties tend to produce less flavorful dishes due to higher fat contents; additionally, drain any extra liquid from cans prior to starting your recipe.
When frying salmon patties, take care to not overdo them. An accurate way of knowing when the internal temperature has reached safe levels is using a food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the patty for accurate readings.
Once the salmon has cooled, combine it with all of the other ingredients in a large bowl and form it into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes before covering and refrigerating for at least 30 minutes before frying.
Salmon patties can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the freezer for 3-4 months. To freeze them quickly and safely, place them on wax paper-lined baking sheets in the freezer and flash freeze for 15 minutes – once frozen they can be transferred into airtight containers or left until ready to use.
Baking salmon patties in the oven is another alternative to frying. Simply preheat your oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray before arranging your salmon cakes on it and baking for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
This salmon cake recipe is both quick and delicious! Perfect for lunch or light dinner, this simple meal takes only 20 minutes to prepare! This recipe makes four patties but feel free to double or triple it if necessary.
Cooking in the air fryer
An air fryer is an efficient and hassle-free way to create crispy salmon patties, and even frozen ones! All that is required for success is making sure the patties have even thickness and shape; using other types of fish like haddock or cod requires additional time in the fryer.
To create Salmon Patties in an Air Fryer, drain and mash canned salmon before mixing it with scallions, dill, lemon zest, eggs, almond flour and any additional seasonings such as garlic. Combine all of the ingredients well using either your hands or a spatula until everything has combined into an evenly moist yet non-sticky mixture that you can then shape into 8 small patties using a half cup measuring cup to achieve more uniform sizes without them falling apart while infuriating other air fryer users who make similar recipes will find their air fryers capable of producing excellent results in air fryer environments!
Place the patties into a preheated air fryer, spray them with cooking oil, and begin the air frying process. You may be able to accommodate up to four patties at one time depending on the size of your air fryer; just be careful not to overcrowd them as this could hinder air circulation and make your patties soggy! Cook these for approximately 12 minutes while turning halfway.
Salmon cakes are an excellent source of protein and healthy omega-3 fats, providing calcium without dairy as canned salmon contains bones. Plus, they’re low-cal making them an ideal way to support weight loss diets!
Salmon patties make an excellent accompaniment to many side dishes, including potatoes, vegetables and salads. They pair especially well with sandwiches and wraps. You can enjoy them as an individual dish served with either remoulade sauce or tartar dressing or as part of your main course with either potato buns or other low-carb bread – you could even store them cold for up to three days in your refrigerator before warming in the microwave until warm again!
Cooking on the stove
Salmon patties are a quick and simple meal to prepare. Perfect for grilling, baking or pan frying on the stovetop, salmon patties can also encourage children and picky eaters alike to consume more seafood! Plus you can even prepare these ahead of time and freeze for later use!
To prepare the patties, add flaked canned salmon to a large bowl and combine all of the other ingredients, stirring well with either a spoon or your hands until everything has come together. It is important to add filler such as cracker crumbs (Saltine Cracker Crust Crumbs are ideal) so they remain together during cooking – eggs and mayonnaise act as binder agents while this ingredient provides essential structure support during the process of baking your patties.
Once the mixture has been thoroughly combined, shape it into 12 patties. If necessary, add additional bread crumbs or egg to ensure they do not become too moist; too dry a mixture could result in crumbles that disintegrate when put in a pan or oven.
As soon as your patties have been formed, lightly spray with cooking oil before cooking for 10-12 minutes on each side until golden brown in colour. If desired, bake in an oven for another 5-10 minutes after flipping to create crispier salmon patties.
This recipe can easily scale to accommodate any family size. If you need more than four salmon patties, simply double the ingredients and cook in batches. For bite-size patties, just reduce their size by half before freezing for up to three months! For ease of preparation and storage purposes, these recipes may also be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator or frozen.
To freeze salmon patties, place them on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet in the freezer until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag pressing out all excess air before sealing and labeling it.
