My husband is a big fan of these salmon patties. For those on a dairy free or gluten free diets this is a good recipe. It will make about 12-13 patties.

I always make way more patties than we need. My husband and I both like them cold with a salad. They also freeze well. Last time I managed to sneak half of the cooked patties away in the freezer so next time I need a quick meal, they’re already made and just need to be heated through.
Salmon Patties
Ingredients
5 small to medium potatoes
1 16 ounce tin salmon (I use an inexpensive salmon. You can also use tuna if you prefer. I have been known to use either at varying times, depending on what I have in the pantry at the time. Both work equally as ell. )
I large onion, diced
1 cup parsley or cilantro (I mostly use parsley because that’s what we have growing. It’s up to you though)
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons gluten free tomato sauce or ketchup
1 tablespoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Rice flour
2 beaten eggs combined with 2 tablespoons milk (leave out the milk if you are dairy free)
Rice crumbs
Method
Peel Potatoes. Cook potatoes in water till soft. Mash without using butter or milk. Allow to cool.
Drain juice from salmon. Put salmon in a large bowl with diced onion, chopped parsley, paprika, sauces and lemon juice. Add cooled potato. Mix well.
Shape into patties.
I always put mine in the fridge for a while – about half and hour before I crumb them.
Coat patties in rice flour, egg and lastly rice crumbs.
Cook in a little oil in a pan on a fairly high heat or an electric fry pan set at around 6 for 10-15 minutes turning once or twice till golden brown and crispy.

We always keep the juice from the salmon. Both our dogs love it. Our inside dog is always hopeful she’ll get it earlier but she usually then gets it poured over her dry dog food at dinner time. She laps it all up.
