For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or parsley to the salmon mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. Serve these salmon cakes with a dollop of lemon-dill aioli or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the patties. A hot pan ensures good color and crispiness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the drained salmon, beaten egg, and chopped onion using your hands. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)
02
StepGradually add the quick-cooking oats, mixing lightly until the mixture holds together and is no longer overly moist. The amount of oats may vary depending on the moisture content of the salmon. (3 minutes)
03
StepShape the mixture into four equal-sized patties, ensuring they are compact but not dense. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a large skillet, heat the canola oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture shimmers. (2 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place the salmon patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (1 minute)
06
StepFry the patties until golden brown and crispy on the outside and heated through, about 7 minutes per side. Gently flip the patties using a spatula to avoid breaking them. (14 minutes)
07
StepRemove the salmon cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. (1 minute)
08
StepSeason with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
