Next, blend the salmon and all the seasoning ingredients together to make a paste. Finally, shape the paste into balls and flatten them into round patties. You can cook or fry them on a skillet. You can also bake in the oven. The end results are juicy, moist and absolutely delicious.

Cooking Tips

For the best and juiciest salmon fish cakes, please follow my tips and tricks below:

Egg yolk is the secret ingredient. After blending the fresh salmon with egg yolk and other seasoning ingredients, the patties will be airy, light and fluffy. Lemon juice makes the patties extra juicy. It also reduces and removes the fishy smell of salmon. Season well with ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Both ingredients add mild heat to the salmon cakes. For low fat patties, pan fry with a little bit of oil or use an air fryer. You may also bake them in the oven.
