In a perfect world, I would make these Easy Eggless Salmon Patties with fresh salmon leftovers, but rarely do I have any, so I used canned salmon, and they turned out perfect. If you decide to use canned salmon, make sure you buy skinless and boneless wild pink salmon.

  • Golden flaxseed meal: This will help to bind the mixture. This is flaxseed meal I use.
  • Salmon: Cannedsalmon OR freshsalmon will work great. I like to use canned wild pink salmon.
  • Panko crumbs: You can substitute for the same amount of Almond meal for a keto-friendly version.
  • Herbs: Fresh parsley and dill for flavor!

Oriana’s Notes

Flax Seed: I used flaxseed eggs in this because my daughter is allergic to eggs, but If you don’t have any food restrictions, you can substitute for two regular eggs.

Salmon: I prefer using leftover fresh salmon, but I rarely have any leftovers, so using canned salmon is totally okay. Make sure you use skinless and boneless wild pink salmon.

Panko Bread Crumbs: You can use almond meal for a gluten-free version, the same amount.

Oven Instructions: Bake at 425º F (218º C) for 15 minutes. Flip, spray the tops with oil spray, and bake for 5 more minutes.
