My great auntie gave me a can of Salmon and I didn't know what to do with it since I have never used canned Salmon before. Luckily though, she also gave me her recipe for homemade Salmon Cakes too. I made these a few nights ago and my family really enjoyed them! We will definitely be making them again soon.

Salmon Cakes Recipe

1 can of flaked Salmon
2 large eggs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
parsley, oregano and basil to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs

Remove all bones from the canned Salmon and discard the bones. Finely flake the Salmon and put into a large bowl. Whisk the 2 eggs together and add them to the bowl along with all spices. Stir in the chopped onion and bread crumbs and mix well. Using your clean hands, shape mixture into patties. Add 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil to a frying pan and using medium heat, fry your Salmon patties until done and lightly browned.

I made buttered brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes to go with them but you could serve any of your favorite veggies as the side dish. Sometimes when I make them we will toss some corn-on-the-cob onto the grill and enjoy grilled corn with them too.
