I made these Quick and Easy Salmon Patties for dinner recently. They were a hit.
I really like salmon cakes/patties, but I never make them the same way twice. This recipe for quick easy salmon patties is adapted from the Good Housekeeping The Supermarket Diet Cookbook (affiliate link), a recent Goodwill find with several items already flagged to try.
WW Friendly Low Carb Salmon Patties
Recipe Notes
I modified the recipe slightly to accommodate what I had on hand. The original recipe called for horseradish sauce. I only had prepared horseradish. So, I made my own 'horseradish sauce' by combining 1 tablespoon of it with 3 tablespoons of light mayonnaise, which seemed to work fine.
Served with frozen potato wedges I heated up in the toaster oven and coleslaw, it was a quick, easy, healthy, satisfying dinner that came together in less than 30 minutes.
The consistency of these salmon patties is quite soft, not firm like salmon burgers. So if soft salmon patties are a turn-off, these probably aren't for you.

Cooking Notes
You could make these patties several hours, or a day, ahead and then place them on a plate, covered with plastic and refrigerated until ready to cook. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer so they heat through.

Is there any alternative you can use for the horseradish in this recipe? These look good but my husband and I are not big fans of the distinct taste of horseradish...
Martha McKinnon
Hi Kristin,
I think you could just skip the horseradish if your husband isn't a fan.
Debbie
Thanks for the great dinner idea. I'm going to firm the salmon patties up a bit by adding two egg white. This won't change the point value , I believe.
Martha McKinnon
Hi Debbie, love the idea of firming up the salmon patties with egg white. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi there. Thank you so much for the Download of 15 Favorite Slow Cooker Recipes and I can't wait to make the Quick Easy Salmon Patties. I am going to make them with Tuna as I have a few cans on hand. I am a bit concerned about the Canola Oil that is used.
I did a Google Search on : Canola - animals and insects avoid it in nature, here's why you should to.
I found this on The Alternative Daily Report - The Coconut Oil Secret Exposed .html

Frances

Heather
Made these today. I'm not a fan of salmon cakes but these were delicious. The addition of horseradish brought the flavour up a notch. Next time I may add an egg white so that they hold together better. I will make these again. Thank you for the recipe.
Martha McKinnon
Hi Heather, glad to hear that they worked for you!
Mary
I cannot wait to try these! Do you think ranch dressing (0 pts!) would sub well for the horseradish? Or not really?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Mary, yes I think ranch dressing would be a fine substitute. - Martha
Gretchen
Probably a good sub for horseradish sauce would be mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.
Cathy
Very soft. Used less mayo horseradish combo and added a bit more pinko crumbs. Very tasty. Love the horseradish.
Dr R Jimerson

I didn’t have any horseradish so I used fresh ginger
I will be making again
