One of my readers recommended this Betty Crocker recipe for Salmon patties (thanks Goodfountain!). I finally made them last Friday and they turned out great. My husband gave the meal a thumbs up, which he doesn’t always do with new fish dishes.
I served it with guacamole, hamburger buns, fruit, and salad. Little D dipped his salmon cake pieces in the guacamole and Big A ate the guacamole, fruit, and bread (shocker!). Although she continues to say salmon is one of her favorite foods.
Overall, a nice change for fish night. I think next time I’ll double the recipe and freeze some. These patties would be perfect topped on a salad for a quick and easy lunch or as a snack.

Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 8 medium green onions, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 can (14¾ oz) red salmon (I used 2 smaller cans), skin and bone removed, drained and flaked
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons dill dip, ranch dip or guacamole
Instructions
- In a bowl mix all ingredients except the butter, buns, lettuce, and dip. Shape mixture into 4 patties (about ½ cupfuls per patty).
- In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add the patties cooking for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until brown and cooked through (mine almost burned so watch out).
- Make into sandwiches with dip and lettuce or eat by itself. Enjoy!
Hey! I’m glad you made them and that at least 3/4 of the family liked them. 🙂 They were a staple of our meal planning for a long, long time. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed and no one seems too interested anymore. Ah well. So go the food trends. We’re big into burritos now.
I know what you are saying…we get into certain meals for a while. Mexican is our fav!
Hi Maryann,
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I tried these and they were delicious (even better the following day after being in the refrigerator overnight).
I can’t eat dairy products so I switched out a couple of ingredients (I replaced the breadcrumbs for crackers that I crunched up very fine, left out the HeartSmart mix and used Earth Balance (dairy free) spread instead of butter) and now it has become my new go to recipe for fish! Very tasty.
Glad they turned out Jackie! You reminded me that I need to make them again…
