Whole30 + Keto Salmon Cakes with Lemon Dill Aioli
Whole30 + Keto Salmon Cakes Recipe + Video – 5g net carbs! A low carb healthy and delicious salmon cakes made from canned salmon, topped with a lemon dill aioli. Ready in 20 minutes! Paleo, gluten free, grain free, dairy free, sugar free, clean eating, real food.
Stick with me here.
You know that canned salmon that’s right next to the canned tuna? It makes the absolute most delicious salmon cakes and is in no way gross! Who knew?
When I was doing my oh-so-extensive Whole30 Trader Joe’s Shopping Guide, I noticed the canned salmon and challenged myself to come up with a recipe for it.
These whole30 + keto salmon cakes are life changing. It’s like a crab cake, but made with salmon. Promise you’re going to love.
Ingredients in Whole30 + Keto Salmon Cakes
Salmon cakes are usually made with bread crumbs. But I swapped it for almond flour and it was perfect. I added in tons of fresh herbs to bring brightness to the salmon cakes, and some of my homemade mayo to keep it juicy.
While the salmon cakes are getting golden and perfect in the cast iron skillet, I whip up a fast lemon dill aioli to serve on top.
Since the salmon is already cooked, you’re really just browning the cakes and warming it through.
This dinner honestly takes 20 minutes start to finish.
I’m going to have to insist you also make my whole30 + keto herby lemon coleslaw to go with it. It’s kind of the perfect meal. You’re already chopping herbs, just chop a few more for the coleslaw.
If you make the coleslaw and the salmon cakes together (which you really should), you’ll need exactly 1 batch of my homemade whole30 + keto mayo for the coleslaw dressing, to use in the salmon cakes, and to make the lemon dill aioli. Don’t you love when it works out like that?
Whole30 + Keto Salmon Cakes Meal Prep
These salmon cakes and coleslaw make a great lunch or dinner meal prep! See recipe notes for meal prep instructions.
I eat them cold when I meal prep them, and they’re absolutely delicious. The coleslaw stays crunchy for days, and doesn’t get soggy!

Whole30 + Keto Salmon Cakes with Lemon Dill Aioli
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
Lemon Dill Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove of garlic, grated or finely minced (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Salmon Cakes
- three 6-ounce cans wild alaskan salmon, drained and moisture squeezed out in a paper towel (see Notes)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about half a lemon)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
Instructions
- Lemon Dill Aioli: Make the lemon dill aioli by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk to combine, set aside.
- Salmon Cakes: Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the salmon, almond flour, mayonnaise, eggs, parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, salt and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Divide the mixture into 4 to make larger patties, or use a large cookie scoop to make smaller slider size patties. Use a moderate amount of pressure to press them together.
- Add the avocado oil to your warm pan. Cook the patties over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown. Use a spatula to gently flip the patties, and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the heat, and allow to rest for 3 minutes.
- Serve the salmon cakes warm topped with lemon dill aioli. I highly recommend serving these with my herby lemon coleslaw!
- Leftovers will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 5 days. These are also delicious served cold.
- See Notes below for more tips, FAQ’s and recipe substitutions!
Notes
Canned Salmon Tip: Be sure to read your can labels. Canned salmon can come with skin and bones in it, or skinless and boneless. The skin and bone is more nutritious! The skin and bones dissolve when mixed together. But it definitely doesn’t look the most appetizing. Look for “skinless + boneless” canned salmon if preferred.
Substituting Canned Tuna, Crab or Chicken: You can definitely use canned tuna, crab or chicken in place of canned salmon. You’ll need the same amount, 18 ounces in total drained and all moisture squeezed out.
Using Fresh Salmon: I’ve made this using raw salmon that I’ve pulsed in my food processor. It doesn’t come out as good interestingly enough! I actually prefer using canned salmon. You could for sure use leftover cooked salmon to make these! For this recipe amount, you would need 18-ounces worth. Roughly 1.5 cups cooked and finely chopped salmon. It *may* need a little more mayonnaise to keep it juicy since it wasn’t packed in water.
Mayonnaise: If you make the coleslaw and the salmon cakes together (which you really should), you’ll need exactly 1 batch of my homemade mayo for the coleslaw dressing, to use in the salmon cakes, and to make the lemon dill aioli.
Nut Free/Almond Flour Substitute: If you need this to be nut free, you can use pork rind panko! Or, if you don’t need it to be Whole30 + Keto you can use regular or gluten free panko or bread crumbs.
Meal Prep Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. I love these plastic ramekins to hold the lemon dill aioli. HEATING: These are actually delicious served cold. If you want to warm the salmon cakes either microwave until warm, about 2-3 minutes (I like to sprinkle on a little water to help it steam and prevent it from drying out). Or reheat in a 350ºF oven until warm, 8-12 minutes. But careful, because microwaved fish smells really strong.
Dried Herbs: In a pinch, you could use dried herbs. But I really love the fresh herbs, adds tons of brightness.

Thanks for sharing; this sounds absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to make it! Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned? If so, what if any alterations need to be made?
Thanks Molly! It’s so good! And yes, you can use fresh salmon too! I would cook the salmon first, then chop it really fine and follow the rest of the directions. Perfect use for leftover salmon!
These salmon cakes look so nicely golden crisp and delicious.We’ve become big fans of salmon cakes around here. Definitely going to have to try this recipe, especially with that lovely aioli!
Thank you so so so much Mary! Can’t beat that golden crust. Hope you love them when you make them!
Husband and toddler approved. So glad I tried these last night, I have never enjoyed a fish cake in my life until now. I LOVE them!
★★★★★
Yea! So glad to hear it! It’s delicious, right? Thanks for making my recipe and letting me know you like it, it makes my day to hear it!
This was so easy to prepare and they are so good! They formed perfectly and never fell apart. Thank you so much! I am about to start a second round of Whole 30 and these are going to be a new staple,
So glad to hear you liked them Leslie! And that they were easy for you! Good luck with your 2nd round of Whole30! Rooting for your health journey!
Love these!! They are in our rotation now! Wondering if they have ever been tried baked??? B
So glad you like them Ingrid! I’ve never thought of baking them. It could work! I just love that golden crust so much, so pan frying is the way to go for me. But baking should work. I’d probably do 350ºF for 15 minutes. Just a guess. If you try it and it works let me know!
these look amazing, wondering if they’ll freeze/reheat well or if they’ll get a weird texture after? not sure if you’ve tried it, but just curious. thanks!
I’ve never frozen them! I would think they would be ok? If you try it let me know!
Ahh…I need to research the canned salmon more! I mixed all the binder ingredients and then opened my can to discover it was basically a whole portion rolled up and stuffed in a can…bones, skin, and all, and it was scary!! I’m debating whether to try canned tuna or cook and chop the frozen salmon I have. I love everything of yours I’ve tried and I know this will be no exception, once I iron that out. Haha!
Yes! Some cans have the skin and bones in it. It’s more nutritious! The bones and skin should dissolve right in. But definitely doesn’t sound the most appetizing, haha! You can look for canned salmon that says “skinless + boneless”. This recipe also works great with tuna!
I made this tonight and even my fish hating husband liked it! Kid friendly too!
★★★★★
Yea yea yea! I’m so glad you and your husband liked it! This just made my day! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Means the world!
These were delicious! My favorite way to eat salmon!
Is there any way to make these AIP?
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked them April! Thanks for letting me know! I’m not sure how to make these AIP since the eggs are pretty essential in binding them. Not sure an egg substitute would work here, like a flax egg. Anyone have any ideas?
The flax egg and vegan mayo worked well for us. I did make the patties smaller, nugget size, to make sure they wouldn’t fall apart apart.
These are great, and one of my husband’s new favorites. I sub thyme for chives & dill (which he is allergic to and despises, respectively), and really enjoy the result. Bonus: leftovers reheat beautifully in the frying pan. Thanks for this new go-to.
★★★★★
I am SO HAPPY to hear that Jenna! Thank you so so so much! Now I want to try these with thyme. Sounds delicious. You’re inspiring me! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you like my recipe. Means so much.
Would I be able to replace the mayo with something else or use less of it? I love salmon cakes and love the simplicity of this but just want it to be a bit lower in fat.
You could use a vegan mayo? That may have less fat!
Yum! This was my first time making salmon patties, and they are delicious! My husband doesn’t like salmon, and he said it was better than other salmon he has had. That’s a big win! If you’re a first timer, I recommend keeping the patties small. They are easier to manage.
I am SO happy to hear that! Thanks you Ashley! This just made my day! And good thinking on keeping the patties smaller, that would definitely make them easier to flip.
Freaking delicious! Last night was my 3rd time making these. My 11-month-old even loves them. It cracks up me and my husband because what almost-1-year-old likes salmon cakes? These are outstanding. I also love that they’re pretty budget friendly. We buy canned salmon at Costco too and always have the ingredients on hand so it’s a fast week night dinner. Love love love! Will definitely be making again.
★★★★★
Oh I am so happy to hear you like them Ashley! What a mom win that your 11 month old likes them too! These are so perfect for little babies since they’re easy to chew. And so healthy!
Loved these! We found them and the sauce a little on the salty side. Will make again and just decrease amount of salt next time.
★★★★★
Yea! So glad you liked them Sherry! I love hearing that! And yes, for sure decrease the salt. I’ve found different canned salmon to be saltier than others.
These are so good! A little bit of a labor of love chopping all those herbs but worth it! I personally used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form the patties so it made 10 smaller ones instead of 4 large ones. Perfect for lunches for the week!
★★★★★
I’m so happy to hear you like them Cori! Making smaller ones is such a great idea! Even better for lunch.
I find salmon cakes a very good idea! Some time ago I followed a very strict diet and was afraid to eat fatty foods, even fish. Now I have revised my views and try to eat wholesome food, I’m not afraid of fats, as they are also beneficial for the body, especially fish oil. I an sure I will be cooking these cakes on the weekend! I have also found many recipes to my taste on your blog and saved them in my cookbook. Thank you very much, I will definitely come here more often so as not to miss anything interesting!
★★★★★
You’re right! Eating high fat is actually so good for you! You will love these salmon cakes. They’re such a favorite. Glad you found me here, and are finding recipes you want to try!
This is one of my favorite recipes of all time! So delicious! Especially good with the aioli and paired with Natalie’s yummy coleslaw.
★★★★★
Wow Katie this makes me so happy! I am thrilled you like my salmon recipe. You can’t beat salmon with aioli and coleslaw!
We make these quite a bit, they are incredibly tasty and the aioli is to die for! Love to use a 2 or 3 tablespoon scoop and make them a smaller size. Get out the pancake griddle and cook them all at once!
★★★★★
These salmon cakes are so delicious!! They are a hit every time!
★★★★★
So glad you like these and that they were a hit Sally!
I have tried so many Whole 30 tuna/salmon cakes recipes and Natalie’s version is by FAR the best! And when you make it with her aoili and coleslaw, OMG – SO GOOD. I’ve used fresh and dried dill and both work (but fresh is always yummier). I’ve also added diced jalapeno to give it a little kick. I think the patties stick together better if you put the mixed ingredients in the fridge for an hour or so before frying them up. Highly, highly recommend!
★★★★★
Thrilled that you like these Ann! I always serve them with coleslaw and aoili. One of my favorite flavor combinations. I love the tip about putting the mixture in the fridge before forming the patties. Thanks for sharing that.
hands down the best salmon cakes of your life! When I was pregnant I ate these every week – it’s such a great source of DHA and the flavor is incredible. I love packing this now for lunches – meal prep is easy and they keep well in the fridge all week.
★★★★★
So happy you liked these! What a healthy meal to crave during your pregnancy. I love them for lunches too!
First off, every single thing I’ve made from TastesLovely is 5 star ratings and beyond. If you make these, double or triple the batch. You’ll want to freeze them! So convenient for lunch or quick dinner and incredibly tasteful!!
★★★★★
Wow! What a nice compliment Jenna! Thank you so much! I am so glad you like these. They do make the perfect lunch or quick dinner.
These salmon cakes are so fantastic. I cannot wait to have a free day so that I can just meal prep a ton of these !!!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked these Megan! I love days off so I can food prep too! Thanks for sharing.
Tried these for dinner last night and enjoyed something different from our normal rotation. I made them with flax eggs and vegan mayo as my son has an egg intolerance. I used a tablespoon to measure out “nugget” size patties as I was concerned they wouldn’t hold together and in hopes my kids would enjoy them more. Fortunately they did hold together; unfortunately my kids weren’t fans. My husband and I enjoyed the extras though. My biggest suggestion is to not skimp on the herbs. I ran out of dill and chives and had half of what the recipe called for. I missed the extra flavor, but had already made the dill sauce so that really helped. We will for sure make this again! PS make the slaw!!
★★★★★
Another great recipe! Mixed canned salmon and tuna. Delish!
★★★★★
Mixing salmon and tuna sounds delicious Alex! Thanks for sharing!
This recipe is so good and such an easy “fancy” recipe to make for company! Love it with her suggested coleslaw.
★★★★★
OMGosh so yummy! I made extra to freeze. The lemon aioli is to die for! Will definitely make this recipe again as it’s so yummy and easy and quick to make!
★★★★★
Glad you like these Penny! I always make extra to freeze too. Even my little guys like the lemon aioli. I am glad you did too!
Do you cook the patties before freezing?
It’s up to you if you want to cook them prior to freezing Rachel. I have done it both ways and it works great. I cook them, let them cook and freeze. Then reheat in the oven on a cookie sheet flipping once. You can also freeze them uncooked, thaw in the fridge and cook in a skillet. I sure hope you like these!
This is the third recipe I’ve made from this blog. It is as fantastic as the other two (Greek chicken thighs and instant pot beef stew). Truly. I want to go back out and get more of the ingredients so that my family and I can have them again tomorrow night. Thank you for this recipe!! ❤️
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked these Rachel! I am so happy that you already want to make them again! That just makes my day!
Is there another option instead of almond flour – to make it nut free? Thanks!
Hi Alyson – you can use pork rind panko (ground pork rinds so they resemble panko) as a substitute if you are wanting to keep it Whole30 and Keto. Otherwise you can substitute gluten free bread crumbs.
I’m out of almond flour so will be trying GF all purpose flour tonight with these. Eeeeep! We’ll see. :) We love this recipe so much. Thanks Natalie!
I sure hope they turn out well for you with GF all purpose flour Ashley. Let me know if it works!
I chickened out. I had some almonds in the pantry and just ground them up using my food processor to make almond flour. :) They were delicious as usual! xoxo
One of our favorite weeknight meals!
★★★★★
Yeah! So glad this is a favorite weeknight meal Holly! It’s one of mine, too!
My new go to for parties! Made these last night to bring to a friends house for a dinner party, made smaller ones for app style, they were a hit! Used your homemade Mayo, so easy and delish. Could not find fresh chives, used dried, they came out perfect. Used EVOO instead of avocado oil to fry, just have to watch the smoking point and used two large pans. Thanks again for another wonderful dish!
★★★★★
I am so glad these were a hit Christine! I also love to serve them smaller as appetizers. Thrilled you liked the mayo recipe! I think it pairs perfectly with the salmon cakes.
Pleasantly surprised about this recipe. I’ve made salmon patties before and they did not turn out great but these were amazing! I did cut the recipe in half and used a can of salmon. I am in an area where organic and special fish is not readily available. But my substitution worked great. Overall easy, delicious recipe!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked this Nicole! I am glad the recipe was easy and delicious. That is just fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing.
Best recipe that I’ve ever made! At a point where I have it memorized now…only had a tiny can of salmon tonight and still managed to make 2 incredible patties. And the aioli…I use it on everything, all the time!
★★★★★
Wow! Thank you so much Caitlin! I am thrilled that this is the best recipe you have ever made. I love it when I make a recipe so much that I have it memorized. I am glad you like the Lemon Dill Aioli too! Thanks so much for sharing!
These were amazing!! I’m not a huge fish eater but they aren’t super fishy and the flavor is great, especially with the aioli! Would recommend to anyone!!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my salmon cakes Sierra! I agree they are not too fishy at all. I think the aioli makes them perfect!
These are a family favorite! We love them!!
★★★★★
I am so happy you and your family loved my salmon cakes Sara! Thank you so much for letting me know. It means the world to me.
I make these all the time! The leftovers are delicious cold or reheated. If I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to make the aioli, I’ll just top with mayo and homemade dill pickles!
★★★★★
I am so glad. you like my salmon cakes. I also love them cold for lunch. I love adding pickles to my mayo, especially if they are homemade!
This recipe is my go to salmon recipe! Super easy, I change the flavors based on what I have in the house, and it’s the only way my husband will eat salmon without protest! Highly recommend.
★★★★★
I am so happy my salmon cakes are your go to salmon recipe Tessa! Wow! That is quite a compliment! I just love that you adapt the recipe depending on what you have on hand. That is what cooking is all about! I am also happy the recipe is hubby approved. Glad he eats it without protest, you can’t beat that!
just made these tonight! DELICIOUS!!! can’t wait to make them again ? and you’re right, they were perfect w/the herby coleslaw ?
★★★★★
I am so happy my salmon cakes turned out delicious for you and you enjoyed them with my herby coleslaw Jessica! Even better that you can’t wait to make them again. Yeah!
ate the leftovers for lunch yesterday cold from the fridge & it was still totally delicious! this recipe is a winner!!! ?
★★★★★
Aren’t the salmon cakes delicious the next day Jessica? I think they make the best lunch. I am so glad you do too!
I just made these! So tasty! These are definitely going into regular rotation.
Thanks for all of your work with developing these recipes, I’ve loved every one that I’ve tried! Looking forward to digging into some more.
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked my salmon cakes Heidi! That is great that they are going into your regular recipe rotation! I am thrilled that you have liked some of my other recipes too!
These were great! I forgot to take meat out of the freezer (again) and it was great to put something together with just pantry ingredients and produce! Thanks again for a great, tasty and healthy recipe! Yours are my favorites!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked my salmon cakes Emily. They are a great pantry dinner, aren’t they? I am so happy you like my recipes. That just makes my day!
These were delicious- and so pretty. We did use Panko breadcrumbs instead of almond flour- nut allergy in our household- but they were delicious and will make again. And the aioli was to die for. :). Thanks!
★★★★★
Yeah! I am so glad you liked my salmon cakes Vanessa. I agree that they are so pretty! I am happy you will be making them again.
We love this recipe. So easy and so delicious. My husband who supports me when I do whole 30 but doesn’t do them
With me requests this meal at least twice a month.
★★★★★
That is so wonderful that your husband is supportive of your Whole30 journey Heather. I am glad you and your family enjoy the salmon cakes and they are in your regular recipe rotation.
These are the best salmon cake ever. ? My hubby usually doesn’t care for things like this, but he loves these. Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes. ?
I am so glad you liked my salmon cakes Cindy. That is fantastic that your hubby liked them too! Thanks so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
I’m allergic to salmon and tuna , can I make theses using some other fish or shellfish ?
I apologize but I haven’t recipe tested this with anything but salmon Wendy. I would think canned crab would work beautifully. You may need to tweak the recipe a bit, but I think it would work. Let me know and I sure hope this helps!
HOWWWW IS THIS SO DELICIOUS?! Perfect for meal prep, super easy to put together, and out of this world flavor. Next time, I will definitely be getting boneless/skinless canned salmon because it was definitely unappetizing. We ate it with homemade tartar sauce, coleslaw, and potato salad. It made us long for summer days here in frigid MN!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my salmon cakes Lyndsie! Your dinner sounds delicious, but it does sound like the perfect summer meal for sure! We are even a bit cold here in California which for us means mornings are in the low 50’s. I am sure that is nothing like what you are having in Minnesota! Thanks so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
Made this tonight! One of my favorites! And the herby slaw is a must!!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked my salmon cakes Anne. I agree – the slaw is a must. Really makes the flavors pop!
This is one of my new comfort recipes now. It is fantastic, thank you for this!.
★★★★★
I am so happy my salmon cakes are a comfort food for you Ann! That is fantastic to hear. I think lots of us are turning to comfort foods during these quarantine days.
Wow I made the slaw and the salmon and this was absolutely amazing! I fed 5 people (doubled the recipe) and we all LOVED it. Only change I made was that I served the patties on arugula and slaw on the side. Can’t wait to make this again. Thank you for the recipe!!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my salmon cakes and slaw Amberly! That is amazing that you made it for a crowd and everyone loved it. I absolutely love the idea of serving the patties on arugula, that sounds delicious!
Why did I not make this sooner? Why did I not triple the recipe? Haha these are so good and go perfectly with your coleslaw! My husband and all my kids devoured them. Thank you for a great healthy recipe!
★★★★★
Fantastic recipe!!! So easy to make and tastes so light and fresh!
★★★★★
I love to hear that they were easy to make and taste light and fresh Kate! Yeah! That is the ultimate recipe goal.
Made this tonight for my family…super easy and perfect for a rainy summer night when I can’t grill. The lemon and dill are a perfect combination. Even my 3 year old ate a mini one!
I agree that the lemon and dill are a perfect combination Sarah! Even better that your 3 year old liked it too! That is such a win!
Natalie, I love all of your recipes so much but this one is extra special to me. My grandmother used to make these for me as a child. They were so yummy. My mom now lives with us and she loves when I make these. It brings back fond memories of my grandmother. Thank you for helping me remember her. You are a gift to so many!
★★★★★
Thank you so much for your kind words about my site and recipes Jennifer! You are so kind and you absolutely made my day! Isn’t it wonderful when food brings back wonderful memories? Especially when it’s your beloved grandma!
OMG! I made these tonight and they are absolutely delicious! The flavor is amazing. Natalie, thank you so much for sharing! 💙
★★★★★
I love hearing that they were delicious and amazing Lasha! Yeah! What a fantastic review.
I made this with tuna as that’s what I had and even left out or swapped a few things I didn’t have and they still were delicious! Loved it with the aoli and coleslaw. Crunchy, lemony, yummy! Love all your recipes, videos and demos!
★★★★★
Making the salmon cakes with tuna is a genius idea Emily! So glad it turned out delicious.
Do you think you can use smoked salmon for this?
Yes I think smoked salmon would work for the salmon cakes Teresa. I haven’t recipe tested it, but it sounds delicious! I sure hope you like it!
Easy to put together, tasty and my three boys, ages 6, 4 and 9 months, ALL loved these! now THAT is a win! Great recipe, thank you.
★★★★★
I love to hear that they were easy to make and tasty Cortnee! You are so right, finding a recipe all the little ones like is SUCH a mom win!
These were easy, quick and delish! Used the last of our homemade mayo for the aioli, and it was definitely worth it as it added a bright lemony flavor to the cakes. Subbed dijon mustard in the salmon cakes for the mayo and used a few dried herbs over fresh since we didn’t have them on hand. Will definitely be making these again!
★★★★
So glad you were able to use homemade aioli Kara. It really does make a difference. Adding dijon mustard is a fantastic idea.
This recipe is a WINNER! I especially like making enough to have leftovers. Delicious.
★★★★★
I am so happy you think the salmon cakes are a winner Stacy! I have to agree with you. :) And you’re right, the leftovers are fantastic.
I made these this afternoon. Used tuna & pork rind crumbs like you suggested… hubby just called to say how ‘awesome those tuna cakes are!’ How’s it feel to know you’re officially responsible for feeding ANOTHER 3 boys?? 🤣 you rock
★★★★★
The recipe does work so well with tuna too Carrie. I just love that your husband called you to tell you how tasty they were. That is such a win! Yeah!
I grabbed some canned salmon at Costco tonight and I was so tired when I got home that I almost just grabbed something junky out of the pantry. But I couldn’t get the salmon cakes out of my mind, so I just grabbed one can and made a small portion. It. Was. So. Good. I told my husband when I was just 3 bites in that these were going to become a staple for us. They are going on my meal plan for this week already! Thanks for the deliciousness!
★★★★★
I love that you were just about to eat something junky and took the time to make a healthy, delicious meal Kaitlin. It always feels so much better to eat something good for you. I am so glad they will be part of your regular recipe rotation.
I was hesitant to make these because the idea of canned salmon freaked me out a bit. I finally tried this tonight and oh my goodness! So delicious! The entire family loved them! I wish I would have made this sooner. Amazing recipe. Can’t wait to make it again.
★★★★★
Yeah! I am so happy you liked my salmon cakes Cicely. I too was a little hesitant to try canned salmon but I am so glad I did. It’s super tasty and budget friendly. I am so glad your family enjoyed it and you will be making it again.
Mine completely fell apart but was still delicious. Probably user error. My 5 yr old loved it and she doesn’t love much!
★★★★★
Well shoot! So sorry your salmon cakes fell apart Karan. You can always adjust the recipe depending on the moistness of the salmon. You can add a bit more almond flour or mayo accordingly. I sure hope they turn out perfectly for you next time! So glad they were delicious and your little one enjoyed them.
BEST. SALMON. CAKES. EVER!!!!
Natalie killed this recipe! My family LOVES these, I always have to make a double batch. I add garlic because were vampires. It’s in our weekly meal rotation forever!
★★★★★
Yeah! So glad you are enjoying the salmon cakes Candice! I just love that you always make a double batch and they will be in you regular recipe rotation forever. That is fantastic!
These salmon cakes are sooooooo delicious!
★★★★★
I am so glad they turned out delicious Amanda. Thank you so much for feedback, it really means the world to me.
Quick, easy, delicious. That’s my general criteria for all meals, but mostly lunch. After seeing this posted on Instagram, I was determined to make them for lunch — so glad I did! I used one of my cookie scoops and got 9 patties: 2 for me, 4 for my son and 3 leftover for lunch another day! The aioli sauce was great too!
★★★★★
I love your criteria for meal prep Barbara. I couldn’t agree with you more! So glad you have leftovers for the next few days!
This is one of my favorite recipes EVER! I honestly could make it twice a week and never grow weary of it. The Lemon Aoli is so fresh and tasty. I’ve given the recipe to so many people. Thank you!!
★★★★★
You just made my day Wanda! I am so happy my salmon cakes are one of your favorite recipes! I too make them weekly and haven’t tired of them. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
Can’t wait to try these my son (6) loves salmon cakes my husband (32) not so much but he is getting out voted.
★★★★★
I sure hope you like them Nicole! Sounds like your son has great eating habits which is fantastic!
This is a staple in our home!!Easy and delish! My 2 and 4 year olds love these. Right now it’s the only way they eat salmon. My husband and I love them too!
. I absolutely love that your little one’s enjoy them too Nicole! So do mine! :)
