Smoked Salmon Patties are scrumptious fish cakes filled with smoked salmon, dill and a touch of Parmesan Cheese. They are flaky and flavorful on the inside and crispy and crunchy on the outside. You can serve with fresh lemon wedges or my easy dill mayo. For a complete meal serve with Parmesan Herb Potatoes and Vinegar Coleslaw.
I absolutely love these Smoked Salmon Patties. They are a family favorite because they are incredibly yummy! These delectable patties are made with smoked salmon. My mother in law used to make hers with canned salmon and to be honest with you I can not deal with all the skin, bones and other stuff in the can with the salmon. I much prefer a piece of clean smoked flaky fish. Now combine that scrumptious flaked salmon with breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, mayo, Dijon mustard, eggs, dill, pepper and Parmesan and pan fry it in a little oil. Then it becomes a little piece of heaven in an otherwise crazy world.
How do you make Smoked Salmon Patties?
Simply combine the smoked salmon, panko breadcrumbs, minced onion, minced garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, eggs, dill weed, fresh cracked black pepper and freshly grated Parmesan in a large bowl. Stir to combine and shape with your hands into somewhat small patties.
Now heat a little canola or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat Add the patties and cook until golden brown on both sides. This only takes a 2-3 minutes per side. Try to resist the urge to flip more than once since they can break apart if flipped too early.
Sauce for Salmon Patties
You can serve these Salmon Cakes with lemon wedges, tarter sauce or Honey Mustard Sauce We love this dill mayo with the patties. To make it mix together mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, dill weed and garlic powder in a small bowl. Serve the dill mayo with the warm salmon patties.
Helpful Tips for making Smoked Salmon Patties with Dill Mayo!
- Buy good quality smoked salmon. Costco sells some really great brands.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Don’t purchase the stuff in the cans.
- If at all possible use fresh chopped dill. Spring is the perfect time to plant an herb garden. Most herbs are very easy to take care of with the exception of cilantro.
- Mince the onion and garlic fine as these are small patties that cook for a short time.
- Use canola or vegetable oil. These oils have a high smoking point for crisping your salmon patties over medium/high heat
- Resist the urge to used added salt as smoked salmon and Parmesan cheese will provide plenty of salt.

There are so many great recipes that use salmon but I get excited every time I stumble upon a new one. I thought about making salmon patties for quite a while, so it is a great time to try your recipe – it looks quick and easy.

I’m always looking to get more fish into my diet. These smoked salmon patties look delicious especially with the dill mayo on top.

This was my first time using smoked salmon in my salmon patties. I’m definitely making them this way from now on. Thanks for the yummy recipe!!
★★★★★
So glad that you liked it! They are so yummy!
The flavor of the smoked salmon mixed with dijon mustard makes these the perfect patties! Will be making again soon!

I have always loved crab cakes, but after trying these salmon patties, I am hooked! They were so crisp and delicious; hit the spot, indeed!
★★★★★
Thanks so much Jacque! I am glad that you enjoyed them!
I have re-read this post several times and twice panko bread crumbs are mentioned but the amount is not listed in the ingredients…….
Thanks
My apologies. It has been corrected. I really need to hire an editor! Maybe I can get my sister to do it for free! LOL!
Made this for dinner tonight – 5 Stars. My husband pronounced these the best Salmon Patties (we grew up calling them Salmon Croquettes) he had ever had, I agree. I only had a small piece of smoked salmon so I blended it with some canned salmon and guessed at the amount of panko (1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon). It was perfect. I made a cucumber salad and some quick roasted potato wedges. Just a great summer dinner.
I’m putting poached eggs on the leftovers tomorrow for breakfast……
Thanks for a great addition to our rotation.
★★★★★
Suzanne I am so glad that you and your hubby liked them. Thanks for giving me a heads up on the missing panko breadcrumbs. I have corrected the recipe. I added a few more breadcrumbs but that is one of those ingredients that you really can’t go wrong with. Your dinner sounds delicious! Poached eggs would be so good with these! Now you are making me hungry!
Looks amazing…when you say “smoked salmon” is it the smoked salmon (our grocery has smoked salmon/chicken) or the lox kind that is normally put on bagels. Unsure which you used?
★★★★★
Thanks Linda. They are so delicious. You want the full smoked salmom. Not the lox kind. I hope this helps.
Can you use canned?
Thank you
You can but I prefer smoked.
I absolutely loved this recipe, I tweaked a few things but I’m bad at following recipes haha. It was a big hit with my mum as well!
I was just wondering – do you have any advice on reheating?
Thank you for the great idea!
★★★★★
I am so glad that you liked them. I love them too. I bring them out of the fridge for about 30 minutes and then I reheat them in an aluminum foil tent at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
