Heart-Healthy Salmon Patties – For a Quick Lunch or Dinner

11/27/2017 by Maytal

I’m a big fan of salmon but since I try to avoid farm-raised fish —  buying wild-caught can really add up. I’ve been eating canned wild-caught salmon instead and it’s just as healthy and costs way less. Canned salmon comes with the skin (which has omega 3 fats) and with bones (which are a good source of calcium) so I still get all the benefits of eating this healthy fish and at a fraction of the price. I’m excited to share a recipe that’s easy to make, can be gluten-free and provides an excellent source of heart-healthy protein. Heart-Healthy Salmon Patties – For a Quick Lunch or Dinner

My salmon patties require no bread crumbs and can be eaten warm or even straight from the fridge. If you have a large can of salmon at home you can pretty much improvise on the rest of the ingredients and end up with a delicious dish that’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. I usually eat them with a green salad but they go well with mashed or roasted potatoes as well.

I used a large can of salmon. Make sure you mash the bones well:

Add chopped onion, green onions, and cilantro:

Add oatmeal:

Add 3 eggs:

Mix well.

Form into patties – this is what they look like before they go into the oven:

Bake until they brown:

And enjoy!
