Using canned salmon allows these salmon patties to go from pan to table in under 30 minutes. You could also use fresh salmon that you have pre-cooked and flaked. No matter how you prep your fish, always use wild-caught salmon to collect the most healthy fats, nutrients like vitamin B12 and antioxidants.
Salmon patties are incredibly versatile to prepare and use. Frying in grass-fed ghee creates a delicious crust and buttery flavors, but you could also fry in avocado oil. Change up your spices and try other flavors like fresh herbs and lemon juice in your patty mixture. You can use this recipe for easy meal prep, as a savory appetizer, or the main protein for any meal.
Serve your salmon patties with fiber-packed side dishes like mashed cauliflower or zoodles, or whip up creamy avocado oil mayo for dipping.
