Grandma’s Salmon Patties

Ok, ok… I know it’s not beef, but, it’s a favorite of mine! Grandma always had these ready for us. Just 3 ingredients. Crispy, golden perfection without a lot of carbs.. I have made them with pork rind crumbs in place of the crackers for completely no carb option. They were still tasty and texture was good but be prepared for skillet popping- At first I thought someone threw pop-it’s in there!!!

This 3 Ingredient Salmon Patties recipe is the perfect quick and budget-friendly meal. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these easy salmon patties come together in minutes with just a few simple ingredients—perfect for busy weeknights, quick lunches, fish Friday, or a simple homemade comfort dish.

My personal favorite side dish is cottage cheese and lots of lemon, but grandma often served these with Mac and cheese and a side of baked beans, and I gotta say the juice from the beans running onto the Pattie’s… it oddly goes together!!!
