How to make Salmon Patties Gluten Free

Gluten free salmon patties (fish cakes) are a great way to use your leftovers get your omega 3 fatty acids. I always cook extra fresh salmon as the kids love these for lunch. Salmon patties can be served warm or can be packed in a lunch box as a cold sandwich. Yum!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Leftover or canned salmon
• 1 egg
• 1 TBLS gluten free Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. dill
• fork
• spatula
• griddle or pan
• Canola cooking spray

1. 
    
   salmon and dulse

   Start with your leftover salmon. Canned salmon can be used, as well as any leftover de-boned fish.

2. 
    
   lemon and salmon

   Scrape the pulp off the lemon skins and add to the fish. Discard the skins.

3. 
    
   mixing the salmon

   Chop the fish fillets into small bits with a fork.

4. 
    
   gluten free ingredients

   Next, add dill, egg, and Worcestershire sauce. (Lea and Perrins brand is verified gluten free on date of publishing).

5. Scrape the fish to one side of the bowl. Add an egg. This will help the gluten free salmon patties stick together.

6. 
    
   Dill weed

   Add Dill to taste - I used 1 tsp.

7. 
    
   gluten free worchestershire

   Add Worcestershire sauce. I added approximately 1 TBLS.

8. 
    
   salmon patties

   Wisk the egg, sauce, and dill together on one side of the mixing bowl.

9. 
    
   gluten-free salmon mix

   Mix with the salmon.

10.

    Spray your pan with cooking spray. Put on the stove on medium high heat.

    gluten free salmon patties

    Scoop up a plum size ball and flatten into a patty. Continue until all the salmon mix is used. If patties are bigger, they tend to break apart.

• Some people put cracker or bread crumbs in their patties - this is a way to stretch the recipe.
