Try this easy baked salmon cakes recipe made with canned salmon. I generally use canned pink salmon to make a salmon cake because it’s less expensive than red salmon. But what’s the difference between the two types of canned salmon? They are actually two different species of salmon, and the pink fish is more prevalent, so the cost is less. Salmon cakes taste great cooked in a skillet on the stove top, but baking them in the oven uses less oil, so if you’re seeking a break from fried foods, baked canned salmon is a healthy option.
Ingredients for Baked Salmon Cakes
15oz canned SALMON
1 EGG
1 tsp minced GARLIC

1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
You will also need OIL for the baking pan
How to Make Salmon Cakes in the Oven
- Open and drain the canned salmon. Check current prices for canned salmon on Amazon.
- In a bowl, crush the fish and bones. Everything in the can is pre-cooked and ready to eat including the bones, skin, and meat.
- Into the bowl add the egg, minced vegetables, and seasoning.
- Mix ingredients together well and then form into patties.
- Place the salmon patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Turn patties once and bake for 5 minutes more.
- Remove salmon cakes from the oven and serve, or allow to cool and save in the fridge for later.
Add a creamy dressing or sauce and these baked salmon cakes make a nice entree with little effort. The fish cakes also go great on a sandwich, and they make handy leftovers, or freeze easily for future meals.
