This Salmon Cake Recipe is loaded with so much flavor! To make them I use fresh flaked salmon, garlic, fish sauce, ginger and sweet thai chili sauce. I recommend using fresh salmon in this recipe but canned salmon can be used in a pinch. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon!

I like to serve these Easy Salmon Cakes with sesame seeds and green onions for garnish. I also like to serve extra sweet thai chili sauce on the side for dipping.

These fresh salmon cakes make a great appetizer or main dish served alongside rice and veggies.

Ingredients

  • Fresh salmon (make sure to pat the salmon dry with a paper towel if you are using thawed frozen salmon)
  • Green onions, garlic and ginger: Are what give these patties all of their flavor.
  • Eggs, mayonnaise and panko breadcrumbs: Act as the binder for these thai salmon cakes.
  • Sauces: Fish sauce and sweet thai chili sauce are added. Both can be found in the international isle in the grocery store or at your local farmers market.

How to make Thai salmon cakes

  • Bake the salmon: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
  • Make salmon patties: Meanwhile while the salmon is cooking add green onions, egg, panko breadcrumbs, fish sauce, mayonnaise, sweet thai chili, ginger and garlic to a large bowl, set aside. When the salmon is cool flake with a fork and add to the large bowl. Mix well to combine. Form into 1/2 inch patties.
  • Brown salmon patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Working in batches add the salmon cakes and cook until browned on both sides and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve: Immediately with sweet thai chili sauce for dipping and sesame seeds and green onions for garnish, if desired.

Sauces

I always have to have lots of sauces for dipping! I love serving this with thai chili sauce, sriracha mayo (1 cup mayo to 2 tablespoons sriracha), or a lemon aioli.
