salmon cakes

Pink seafood fritters

Salmon cakes are patties made from cooked or canned salmon mixed with binders like egg and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried until golden.

A staple of American home cooking, they stretch canned salmon into an economical meal: We had salmon cakes with tartar sauce.

Also called salmon patties or salmon croquettes.
