Cooking Tips

Quality Salmon: The Key to Soulful Salmon Cakes

Pre-cook fresh salmon or in a pinch use well-drained, canned salmon

Don't Overmix

Mix gently-just until the ingredients are combined-to avoid making the cakes too dense

Shaping

Aim for uniform thickness & size for even cooking. Spread the cakes out in the pan when frying-don't squish them together! This helps them stay crispy.
