I go through phases with some foods. Canned salmon is one of them. I hadn’t used it in a long time, but recently picked some up at the store. Tonight I decided to put it to use and made salmon cakes (recipe below).
I also tried out a new food item for us – Alexia sweet potato julienne fries (frozen). The ingredient list looked safe including modified potato starch and rice flour. My two older kids were not home for dinner so I didn’t get their reaction, but the three of us who ate them thought they were good. In fact, my husband usually does not eat sweet potatoes so I didn’t tell him what they were. He guessed sweet potatoes or carrots by the color and willingly gave them a try. They were a hit, and now I have a way to serve him sweet potatoes!
Gluten-Free Salmon Cakes
- 1 can salmon, bones removed
- 1 Tb. lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tb. gluten-free bread crumbs
- pepper to taste
- coconut or other cooking oil
Combine all ingredients in a bowl then form into patties (I made five). Fry in hot oil until brown on both sides and hot through.
These were a big hit with the kids. One of boys who was not home for dinner had one for lunch the next day and said, “What was that thing I ate? Do you have more?”

I love salmon!
I don’t know why I don’t cook much salmon. Thanks for the good reminder.
Mmm yum. I bet the wee ones would eat these. They love salmon, but I’ve never tried the canned kind with them. And the GF fries sound good — especially if non-sweet potato eaters like them!
My Grammy used to make these when I was little. Totally delish. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am going to make some soon in honor of my Grammy!
sounds good!
you’ve given me an idea as i just ground old GF bread into breadcrumbs this past weekend.
thanks

Mom used to make these with grated left over potatoes too – Potato Salmon Patties!! YUM!!
What size tim of salmon? I have found tall ones and flat ones. Thanks.
I love salmon croquettes. My grandmother used to make them for me & my cousins in the summer for lunch.. They’re still one of my favorites & I keep salmon on hand always for one of those days..
Many years ago I found a version that I seem to think was Weight Watchers recipe but cant find it anymore. It didnt call for any bread (which is great imo) and I tried it and loved them.
It included onion, celery, parsley, eggs & salmon.. It was mushy to make the patties but it cooked up perfectly fine.. I’ve found I like the addition of the herbs these days.. Thanks for the reminder for a great lunch.
