Salmon Cakes with Saucy Fish Co

Sharing is caring!

Know what’s better than a crab cake? Salmon cakes! When The Saucy Fish Co. asked me to partner with them I excitedly said yes without knowing what I would make with the salmon. It was my sister who gave me the idea of making salmon cakes. If you haven’t had a salmon cake before, they are similar to crab cakes, but obviously, made with fresh flaky salmon instead of crab. I think it is a major upgrade.

By using fish from The Saucy Fish Company, I eliminated the two most time-consuming steps in traditional salmon cake recipes since the fish comes already cooked, and it comes with a sauce. You can prepare this recipe from start to finish in just 15 minutes!

This is the perfect quick appetizer for when you are having friends over, it looks impressive, and your guests will have no idea that it only took minutes to prepare.

You could also transform this recipe into an easy weeknight meal. Just add a vegetable side dish! You could even serve these salmon cakes over a salad to make a complete meal. Or instead of making 6 small cakes, make two salmon burgers and serve them in a bun!

To make these salmon cakes you just need to break up the salmon into flakes, and add in egg, breadcrumbs, chopped red onion, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix, form into cakes, and cook in olive oil. It takes just 15 minutes from start to finish. Serve the salmon cakes with The Saucy Fish Co. sauce.

The Saucy Fish Co. sells four different preparations of cooked and ready to eat salmon. You can use any of them to make the salmon cakes. The different seasonings and sauces will give your salmon cakes a distinct flavor.

I made two different flavors of salmon cake using the Roasted Lemon and Herb Salmon which came with a Sicilian Lemon and Dill Mayo, and the Steamed Salmon Filets with Lime and Cilantro Sauce. It was easy to whip up two batches of salmon cakes and I loved how they each tasted.

The salmon cakes made with the Roasted Lemon and Herb Salmon had bright lemon flavor and the dill mayo was excellent.

The cakes made with the Steamed Salmon Filets really let the taste of the salmon shine through and the Lime and Cilantro Sauce had a wonderful fresh taste.

If you don’t want to go through the effort of making salmon cakes, The Saucy Fish Co.’s salmon comes ready to eat, is perfectly seasoned, and each flavor comes with a custom sauce. You can eat the salmon as is, or add it to a recipe.

I found The Saucy Fish Co. products at my local Whole Foods. You can learn where to buy products here, or shop online here!
