Salmon Cakes

Fresh and Flavourful Salmon Cakes

These salmon cakes are a simple way to bring more protein-rich fish into your meals while keeping things light and vibrant. Packed with fresh herbs and warming spices, they make a nourishing option for lunch, dinner, or even a wholesome snack. You’re going to love how quickly they come together, and how well they pair with a crisp salad or a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Simple Steps to Make

1. Warm a tablespoon of olive oil in a frypan. Cook the garlic, onion, cumin, salt and pepper for about 5 minutes until softened, then set aside to cool slightly.

2. In a blender, add the cooled onion mix with salmon pieces, chia seeds, tomato paste, mint and coriander. Blend until everything is evenly combined.

3. Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick frypan. Shape the mixture into small patties, flatten gently, and cook for around 2 minutes on each side until golden.

4. Serve warm with a fresh salad, lemon wedges and a little extra mint for garnish.

Why This Recipe Works for You

Salmon is naturally rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, both of which help support everyday wellbeing and leave you feeling satisfied. Fresh herbs like mint and coriander don’t just brighten the flavour, they also add plant compounds that can complement a balanced diet. The addition of chia seeds brings in extra fibre, helping to keep this recipe hearty and grounding.

Enjoy and Share

These salmon cakes are best enjoyed straight from the pan with a light salad on the side, but they also store well for an easy grab-and-go meal.
