My regular stock of canned goods in the pantry always includes a couple cans of salmon. This is a recipe that my mother would make when I was growing up. It is so easy and delicious that I now make it for my family. Most seafood “cakes” are fried, but this one I bake in the oven, so it is not only tasty but super healthy. If you have a hard time getting your kids to eat any fish, try this recipe! When my mother made them, she called them salmon croquets. I have always called them cakes because anything with the word cake in it has my kids sold! You can even make them in nugget size for fun dipping and eating! Salmon cakes are a stand by winner in my house!
Salmon Cakes
2 cans of salmon (drained)
2 cups of italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1 roasted red pepper chopped
1 handful of chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
salt and papper to taste
2 tsp. old bay seasoning
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, place all of your ingredients. Then using your hands, mix all together. Make about 6-8 patties (depending on the size you like) and place them onto your prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Serve with your sauce of choice, ketchup or tartar sauce are my favorites!
