Canned Salmon

My mom made these salmon patties all year! They were a favorite of all us kids and the neighbors too.

This quick and easy pasta salad features mezze penne pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, shallot, salmon, and a lemon-pepper-dill vinaigrette. You can use leftover salmon if you like, but those new handy pouches of salmon are great to have on hand in the pantry for salads like this!

Cheddar cheese and parsley add to the color and taste of these flavorful patties. My neighbor tried them and has been passing around the recipe ever since!

Simple and tasty pan-fried salmon cakes for one (or two small eaters)! Just salmon, egg, onion, and a few staples. Mix it all up, shape into patties, and you are ready to go! Great with macaroni and cheese.

My husband loves salmon patties and I am always finding ways to lighten it up to suit my taste. This recipe taste lighter and crispier.

Canned salmon is a great, inexpensive source of proteins and omegas, and you may have stocked up on a few cans but not known what to do with them. This tasty shelter-in-place salmon loaf is so good for you! While salmon right out of the can may not be the most appealing thing to look at, this salmon loaf is so delicious that we can surely forgive some of its visual shortcomings. Remember, looks are less important than personality (and taste!) and this easy salmon loaf is proof of that. Serve with your favorite tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or hot, white cream sauce.

Tuna patties with a twist. Salmon flavor with tuna is milder. Kids and adults love the meaty inside and crispy outside that's made with crushed crackers.

Delicious and quick burgers!

This recipe has been altered and tweaked with each batch until I felt it couldn't suit us any better. I used to remove the bones and skin, which was time consuming, but found after smashing everything the bones are not noticed and the skin adds flavor! This is quick and easy and flavorful enough for the toddler in my house. Grilling these salmon patties is a healthy alternative to beef burgers. Serve alone, on a bun, or on a bed of fresh greens.

Try this recipe for salmon salad in place of the standard tuna salad.

When you feel like fish, you can enjoy these salmon croquettes from many of the ingredients already in your pantry.

This is such an easy recipe that I can throw together super fast at the end of a long, hard day. It packs a punch of flavor with very little effort. My kids love this and request it often. Sometimes, I even make a few extra to go in their lunch boxes the next day.

This easy recipe is made with canned salmon and peas in a milk gravy. Serve on toast or saltine crackers for a quick tasty meal. Yummy!

This is a salmon version of a tuna casserole. You can use tuna in this as well. I made this up in college when I needed to make something that would use up stuff I had in the kitchen.

I improvised this salmon casserole with items I had on hand in my pantry. I've never been big on casseroles (if you've had my mom's cooking, you'd understand why), but they are definitely an easy way to use up items that would otherwise be sitting in the pantry forever. This recipe is simple enough; feel free to add or supplement as you see fit!

This is a clone of the large salmon patties served at my favorite restaurants. I always ask them to put cheese sauce on mine.

Very easy. These freeze well. Enjoy!

This is a basic salmon patty made with oatmeal and fried in canola oil and butter. The cook can adjust the amount of onion, oil, and butter to meet preferences. We often enjoy this with a meat sauce.

Salmon burgers served with fixings of your choice like tomatoes, onion, lettuce, or pickles. Cooked in the air fryer for a greaseless and oil-free salmon patty.

Adapted from fried Caribbean accras, which are made from salted cod. A recipe that my dad used to make on the occasional Sunday. I didn't have salted cod, so I substituted canned sockeye salmon and it turned out awesome.

I got this recipe from my mother and have taken it to a number of potlucks. It always receives raves. Even non-salmon lovers like this appetizer.

I love this recipe because it is quick and easy to throw together, with an end result that is tasty and comforting.

This creamy pâté with salmon and cream cheese is delicious spread on crackers. You can add pecans for a twist.

These salmon patties make for a quick and great sandwich which can be eaten at lunch or dinner. I usually serve my patties with a creamy dill sauce since it complements the patties perfectly.
