Ingredients Needed:
- ¾ cup of diced red onion
- ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper
- ½ cup of whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1 cup of thinly sliced kale
- 1 ½ Tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning
- 1 Large potato (optional)
- 6 ounces of fresh, cooked or canned salmon
- ½ cup of diced yellow pepper
- 3 Tablespoon of non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
Directions For Cooking:
Start off by heating your oven to 400 degrees. This will give you perfect, crispy salmon cakes with a fully cooked center. Take a baking sheet and cover it with a layer of parchment paper and then set it aside.
If you are going to be making salmon cakes with mashed potatoes, or salmon sweet potato cakes, put the potatoes in a pot to boil. When they are finished, use a fork to mash them until there are no large lumps.
In a nonstick pan that has been warmed over a medium flame, add two spoons of water, red onions, yellow pepper, and garlic. Sauté your veggies until they are soft, but not soggy. Next, add in your crushed red pepper, kale, and your Old Bay seasoning. Keep cooking for an additional three minutes to wilt the kale. Turn off the flame and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl add your salmon, breadcrumbs, mustard, optional potatoes, and cooled vegetables, and yogurt. Mix everything well and then place them in the refrigerator covered to cool for at least half an hour. Once the mix has rested, take them out and form 10 patties, or 15 patties if you used a potato. Place them on your baking sheet and put them in the oven. Let them cook for ten minutes on one side. Flip, and cook for another ten minutes on the other side. Remove them from the oven and serve! You can eat them alone, or you can serve them with a side of your favorite vegetables and brown rice for a healthy meal that delights the senses.

Salmon Cake Recipe Tips
When making salmon rice cakes, it is always best to use fresh fish, but previously cooked leftover fish will work equally well. Just make sure to pay attention to your salt content when adding new spices. Canned salmon is also an option if you are unable to find fresh fish. Make sure to drain the fish well and soak up excess water with a paper towel before mixing with your other ingredients.
If you are in a crunch, you can save time and money buying frozen salmon for any of our listed recipes. Make sure to pay attention to the label because some fish is sold pre-cooked. To make your dishes extra fancy, you can turn any recipe into a salmon crab cakes recipe by adding an equal amount of crab meat to your salmon portions.
