These old -fashioned salmon pancakes are light, crisp and super tasty. This classic recipe is a simple and affordable way to put the dinner on the table.
Salmon pancakes are a classic south dish based on canned salmon, breadcrumbs or crackers and a few simple seasonings. They are formed in pancakes and fries until they are golden.

What is the difference between salmon pancakes and salmon kibbles?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but some maintain that there is a subtle difference. Salmon pancakes are generally more rustic, with simple ingredients such as salmon, eggs and breadcrumbs, often fried quickly in a pan. Some even call them salmon cakes. Croquettes, on the other hand, tend to be a little more refined, often incorporating additional ingredients such as onions, peppers or even potatoes, and they can be transformed into oval or logs before being fried. This salmon cake recipe is a kind of fusion of the two ideas.
Can I use fresh salmon instead of can?
Absolutely! Although canned salmon is the traditional choice for its convenience and accessibility, you can certainly use fresh salmon if you prefer. Just cook the salmon first, scaly with a fork and continue with the recipe as usual. You will probably need about 2 cups. Keep in mind that fresh salmon may need a little additional seasoning, because canned salmon is often delivered with added salt.
Do I have to remove bones and skin?
When you use canned salmon, you will often see that it includes both bones and skin. The good news is that you don’t do it to have To delete them if you don’t want to. The bones are soft enough to be crushed in the mixture, adding a boost of calcium, and the skin is full of healthy fats. However, if the texture bothers you or if you prefer a smoother pancake, you can certainly take a few minutes to choose them. It’s really up to your personal preference!
What should I be used with salmon pancakes?
The salmon pancakes go perfectly with a variety of sides. For a classic south meal, serve them with the cabbage salad, the potato puree, the salad or the buttered corn. You can even transform them into salmon burgers by serving them on hotcakes. You can also add one side of tartare sauce or a pinch of fresh lemon juice to brighten up the flavors. And don’t forget corn bread or cookies to complete the meal!
How can I prevent my salmon pancakes from collapsing?
The key to preventing salmon pancakes from collapsing is to make sure you have the right balance of the link ingredients. Eggs and breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers) help keep the pancakes together. If your mixture seems too dry, add a little mayonnaise or another egg. If it is too wet, sprinkle more breadcrumbs. In addition, cool the pancakes in the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes before frying to help them firm.
Can salmon pancakes be made in advance?
Yes! You can mix the pancakes and train them in advance, then refrigerate them until you are ready to cook. I would not recommend more than 4 hours approximately.
You can also freeze non -cooked salmon pancakes by placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment, freezing until they are solid, then transferring them to a freezer bag. When you are ready to cook, thaw and fry as usual.
