Salmon Patties Recipe (VIDEO)
These salmon patties are flaky, tender and so flavorful. The crisp edges and big bites of flaked salmon are the hallmark of these salmon patties. They are the real deal! It’s no wonder these salmon cakes have been so popular (read the glowing reviews here).
This is an easy and excellent way to use leftover salmon and it is worth it to cook the salmon just for this (instructions below). For busy weeknights, you can substitute with well-drained canned salmon or the salmon in packets which you may already have in your pantry!
I hope you all love these salmon patties and the easy homemade tartar sauce that goes with them.

Salmon Patties Recipe (VIDEO)
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon filet*
- Olive oil
- Garlic salt I used Lawry's Brand, to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 medium yellow onion 1 cup, finely diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper seeded and diced
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter divided
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup parsley finely minced
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven to 425˚F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment or silicone liner. Place salmon in the center, skin-side-down, drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Bake uncovered for 10-15 min (depending on thickness), or just until cooked through. Remove from oven, cover with foil and rest 10 min. Flake salmon with 2 forks discarding skin and any bones then set aside and cool to room temp.
-
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add diced onion and bell pepper and saute until golden and softened (7-9 minutes) then remove from heat.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combined flaked salmon, sautéed pepper and onion, 1 cup bread crumbs, 2 beaten eggs, 3 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Stir to combine. Form into patties (about a heaping Tablespoonful each) and mold with your hands into 2" wide by 1/3 to 1/2" thick patties.**
-
In a clean non-stick pan, heat 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter until hot then add salmon patties in a single layer. Saute 3 to 4 min per side or until golden brown and cooked through. If salmon patties brown too fast, reduce heat. Remove finished patties to a paper-towel lined plate and repeat with remaining oil, butter and salmon cakes.
Recipe Notes
*Substituting Salmon: If desired, you can substitute the first 4 ingredients listed with 15 oz of well-drained canned salmon or salmon in packets. Leftover salmon from dinner can also be used if available.
**Cook's Tip: If salmon mixture is too dry to hold a patty shape, add an extra tablespoon of mayo and if it is too moist, add more bread crumbs.
That pretty blue serving platter can be found here. I have these in different sizes and colors. I love their bold colors and how sturdy and chip resistant Fiestaware is – meant to last a lifetime.
You can serve these for lunch, dinner, appetizers – they are so versatile and these salmon patties can even be used in sandwiches as salmon burgers, just form them a little larger. And if you LOVE salmon recipes, don’t miss our #1 of all time baked salmon recipe!

They look delicious.
They sure are delicious!
From original salmon patty receipe, how many will it serve?
Hi Dolly, This recipe makes about 13-14 patties.
If using canned salmon (and preferring red sockeye) I have to ask if pink salmon would be good (as I have several cans I need to use) ?
Honestly, I haven’t tried it with pink salmon but one of our users has. Heres what she said “in place of the fresh salmon I used 2 cans (5 oz each) of Starkist Pink Salmon and in place of olive oil, I used avocado oil. Will be making this one again soon.” Hope this helps Mary!
I will try this recipe because it sounds better than the one I currently use, and the tarter sauce recipe as well.
Awesome! I’m so happy you discovered our blog.
What is the recipe for the dipping sauce, YUM!
You can try it with this tartar sauce. 🙂
For those that have tried frying then freezing, what is the best way to heat them back up?
People have reported great results after freezing them. I haven’t seen any specific re-heating reviews just yet.
These were very good. I made a couple of small substitutions because of what I had on hand. Will defy be making every time wild caught salmon is on sale!
I froze some to make for a quick meal but they still didn’t last long!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Laurie!
Hi Laurie, I was wondering about freezing up some of these patties for later… did they freeze well for you?
This recipe was so delicious!! Using what I had in my pantry… in place of the fresh salmon I used 2 cans (5 oz each) of Starkist Pink Salmon and in place of olive oil, I used avocado oil. Will be making this one again soon. Next time I want to try your tartar sauce too!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Ramonda. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I am not finding the tartar sauce recipe.
Hi Patty, You can find it here.
Hi. What are the nutrition facts for these?
Kim, we are working on adding nutrition labels and metric measurements on all of our recipes. It’s a slow process since it is one recipe at a time. Until all of the recipes are updated, check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!
I am going to try these right away…looks delish! I can’t seem to find your homemade tartar sauce recipe tho…
Welcome to our blog, Sue! You can find the tartar sauce recipe here
it is highlighted in red in the print-friendly recipe
VRILLIANT .THANKS NATASHA🤗🤗🤗🤗🤣
Thank you for following our blog, Diane!
hi! I make these all the time and love them. Do you think they would freeze well? thanks!
Hi Michelle, I imagine cooked patties would freeze well but I’m not sure if the patties would fall apart or not if they are frozen before cooking. If you experiment, let me know how it goes!
they froze really well and tasted just as good when we ate them! I wrapped each burger in foil individually before freezing.
Hi! I want to make these but interested in using almond meal in place of panko. Has anyone tried to make these gluten free? Thanks in Advance.
Hi Erin, one of my readers wrote in with a very helpful review on that: ” Made this to the recipe – except I used almond meal instead of bread crumbs. It was a huge hit, as was the tartar sauce.” I haven’t tested it myself but you might start with using a little less of the almond meal since it is more dense than breadcrumbs so it doesn’t dry out your mixture.
I used ground up pork rinds instead of the panko and omitted worchestershire to make it keto friendly, then sauteed in avocado oil and butter. Really good.
This recipe is now in the regular rotation for weekly meals in my home. The husband loves them and the toddler loves them too. I use canned tuna and it works great! Thank you!
You’re welcome Tania! I’m glad your family enjoys the recipe as much as mine does. Thanks for sharing your excellent review!
Can’t stop drooling scroling through your facebook page!
My husband loves salmon so I had this recipe in my mind for a while and I made it today! I made the last one little bit bigger, kind of like a hamburger for him to take tomorrow to work! I bet he’s going to love it, I know I did! Thanks sooo much! Greetings from Spain
My pleasure Heather! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe just as much as I do. Thanks for following and sharing your great review!
I am having trouble printing your salmon recipe and the tarter sauce recipe.
I don’t have problems with others.
Hi SR, I am not able to replicate the issue. When I click the “print” button in the print-friendly section, I am seeing the print screen and then I click print and it prints. You will have to go to the tartar sauce recipe page to open and print the tartar sauce. I hope that helps! 🙂
Hello Natasha! Just made these for dinner tonight. It really has amazing flavor and my husband loved them! The only problem I had was the patties were falling apart. What can i do to make sure that doesn’t happen? I followed the recipe exactly so not sure if the mixture was sitting too long and maybe panko got soggy? I’m not sure.
Thank you,
Jacquelyn
Hi Jacquelyn, I’m so glad you loved them! Make sure to use the same proportions of ingredients in the recipe so it doesn’t get too dry. Also, a good non-stick, well oiled pan helps and add them to a hot pan to keep them from sticking. If they aren’t sticking to the pan, they will be easier to flip and won’t fall apart as easilly.
Everything you make looks delicious and me being Ukrainian and and I love to cook, cant help but make your salmon cakes tomorrow and try some of your other delicious looking receipies that I saw on line. Keep them coming..
Thanks for following Darka and please let me know what you think of the recipes!
Hi Natasha,
My son doesn’t like cooked bell peppers. What would be another ingredient to substitute?
Thank you,
Diana
Hi Diana, these should still work well without the bell pepper. If you wanted to substitute, some finely chopped celery might work well.
I made them it was delicious!! My boyfriend could not get enough of it… it will be at my table at my next birthday party..
I’m happy to hear how much you both love the recipe. Thanks for sharing your excellent review Hesra!
I haven’t tried these yet but i do prefer mashed potato’s instead of th
e panko

This tastes wonderful! I made it for my family for Easter and my mom loved them.
I’m glad to hear the recipe is a hit with your family! Thanks for sharing your great review Katie!
Made this tonight. My husband and I loved them along with the homemade tartar sauce that was also in this recipe. Apparently they were so good my father in law asked for seconds. He NEVER askes for seconds! Will be finding more recipes to try
Awesome! I’m glad to hear how much everyone loves the recipe. Thanks for sharing your excellent review Michelle!
Made these tonight with the homemade tartar sauce. Very good, thanks for the recipe
You’re welcome Tom! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe and the sauce. Thanks so much for sharing!
Made these last night. They were delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome Michael! I’m so glad you like them. Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
I wonder if aquafaba (chick-pea juice), which is often used as an egg substitute, could be used instead of mayo. It might have to be whipped (which is used for meringue). I haven’t experimented with it yet, but there have been lots of write-ups.
Interesting! I haven’t tried that but sounds like it could work.
Can I use something instead of mayo allergic to it
Hi Virginia, I’m sorry to hear that :(. I honestly haven’t experimented with any substitutions. Something like sour cream may work, but I just haven’t tested it to make a good recommendation. You might also substitute with a little olive oil for extra moisture. I’ve also seen people sub mayo with mashed avocado for a healthier substitute, but again, I haven’t tested it in this recipe.
Grape seed Oil is better than mayo! Found in refrigerator section of good grocery stores, Whole Foods & Sprouts. Been using it for decades. Pricey but totally worth it. Vegan, gluten-free,dairy-free, non-gmo. Super delicious. It makes everything taste better!
Normally recipes are done using CAN salmon. I really want to try a fresh version. I am counting carbs. Is there an alternative to bread crumbs. I am Keto dieting…
Thank you so much for your reply
Hi Lynne, I honestly haven’t tried without the bread crumbs so I’m not sure. I think it is worth experimenting to sauté them without the crumbs.
If anyone else has a suggestion, please let us know and thanks in advance! 🙂
Making a white sauce with lemon pepper ( id you like it) in it instead of the Mayonnaise.
I never use mayo or bread crumbs…horseradish ( jarred) and an extra egg, if too dry.
Great suggestion Betsey, thanks for sharing!
you could make bread crumbs from Lavish Bread – cuts the carbs down drastically !!
Great suggestion Holly, thanks for sharing!
Lynne,
I’ve used a little bit of ground flax seed or almond flour in my low carb recipes instead of breadcrumbs. I’ve never used a cup though. I’d try it without the filler or with just a few tablespoons of flax and/or almond flour. Good Luck.
Thank you, I will try it.
I use ground pork rinds. just pulse them in your food processor until they resemble Panko.
Since I track my calories and nutritional values, do you have a breakdown on how much is a serving, and what the values are? Thank you!
We are working on adding nutrition labels and metric measurements on all of our recipes. It’s a slow process since it is one recipe at a time. Until all of the recipes are updated, check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you David!
I made these but with one sub I used real garlic .garlic salt is very bad for your health.
Hi Albert, I think that would be a great substitution. Thanks for sharing!
Could you tell me how many carbs would be in a patty? My mom is diabetic & has to count carbs. Thank. You
Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Joan!
For those old folks that are computer illiterate, you can also get a carb counter book and do it old school by hand. I do this all the time.
I made these but substituted almond meal for the breadcrumbs. This lowers the carb count for each patty from 6.3 total carbs to 3.6 total carbs. So both ways would work for diabetics. You just get to eat more of them using the almond meal
Made these three time, delicious. I added celery and shedded carrots.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Juanita! Thanks for sharing your review!
Thank you for this 🙂 I added some grated carrots and spring onion. Tastes great!
My pleasure Karol! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
I made these and they were excellent. Next time I think I’ll chop my ingredients a little finer. And w/ the latter batches I’m going to chill the cakes before frying.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Linda! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
Made these Salmon Patties absolutely delicious but made a big mess with splatter when frying them – has anyone cooked them in the oven
Hi Joanne, I’m so glad you liked the recipe! One of my readers reported good results baking but I haven’t heard back with the details on bake time and temperature. If you test it out that way, let me know how you like them baked. I have found that it helps to control splatter when I sauté things in my dutch oven since it has tall walls and contains the oils 🙂
Perfectly delicious! Better than any gourmet restaurant!
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe so much Bonnie! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE these but my patties fall apart when I cook them. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Stephanie, I am always happy to help troubleshoot. Make sure to use the same proportions of ingredients as in the recipe so it doesn’t get too dry. Also, a good non-stick, well oiled pan helps and add them to a hot pan to keep them from sticking. If they aren’t sticking to the pan, they will be easier to flip.
Can these be made with canned salmon?
Hi Caitlin. Yes! Please see the “notes” section in the print-friendly recipe for info on that. Enjoy!
I made these last night, family loved them, WILL definitely make them again.
I’m glad to hear your family enjoys the recipe as much as mine does! Thanks for sharing your great review!
I made these last nite. Followed recipe to the T… My family liked em but that they were bland. Missing something,maybe lemon flavor,hmmm not sure. But A pretty darn recipe. I got about 17 patties out of a lb. Of salmon. Still will try again.
Hi Lisa, I’m glad your family liked the recipe :). It can vary based on how the salmon was seasoned before it was baked. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice is nice, but we always serve these with tartar sauce which I think completes these 🙂
Natasha,
I would like to know if I can make the patties larger, so I can finishing frying them quicker. Can you also post recipe for tartare sauce.
Love your recipes and made lots of them.
Thank you, Judith
Hi Judith, yes you can definitely make them larger, just keep them the same thickness. You just have to be a little more careful in flipping them if they are very large.
Just made these and they are delicious,, I will definitely make them again!!!!
I’m glad you love the recipe Annie! Thanks for sharing!
How do you heat up salmon patties
Hi Linda, I reheat them on a skillet to crisp up the edges a bit. One of my readers reported good results with baking to reheat.
I just tried this recipe. It was very good!! Thank you!
You’re welcome Susan! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe so much. Thanks for sharing!
Privet Natasha
Can I freeze the patties bore frying and also how long could I keep them in the fridge prior frying please ?
Hi Anthony, I imagine cooked patties would freeze well but I’m not sure if the patties would fall apart or not if they are frozen before cooking. If you experiment, let me know how it goes 🙂
Thanks Natasha yes probably best first cooked – I made them yesterday and tried a couple – fantastic – the rest are to accompany aperitifs tomorrow evening ! spasibo
Just made them tonight, sooo good!!! Thanks!
You’re welcome Luda! I’m glad to hear that!
Love these! I just made them and they taste amazing!!
Also, Do you have nutrition content for these?
Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!
I’m so glad to hear that Emily! Thanks for sharing your great review!
Thank you Natasha. These salmon cakes are very good. The whole family loved.
You’re welcome! I’m glad to hear that everyone enjoys the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the receipe I have 3 questions:
Can I bake these rather than fry on the cooktop?
Can I make them a day or 2 ahead of a party and either fry and bake on the day?
Finally can I cook them and then heat in microwave to serve for a party?
Hi Ruchi,
1. One of my readers reported good results baking but I haven’t heard back with the details on bake time and temperature. If you test it out that way, let me know how you like it.
2. I think that would work fine.
3. I have always thought microwave reheated salmon tastes off – a skillet or the oven might be better.
I made these tonight for my husband and I as a meal with sides. These salmon cakes are delicious and this 1 lb recipe makes enough for four if serving with sides as a meal, so the next time I will 1/2 the recipe. But as appetizers for a small group, it makes plenty. My hubby enjoyed them dipped in my homemade tarter sauce, which was good, but I loved them with fresh squeezed lemon. Very good recipe and I will be making this again! Thank you for sharing! Delishious!
You’re welcome Debbie! I’m glad you both enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your great review!
Really good! I crave these on occasion and gave this recipe a try as it has a bit more spunk than the other recipes, and then got brave and added some red chili pepper flake. Wow.
I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
Just made this and felt like I have to review it. They came out soooo good (I hope I can repeat it for my friends). Used dill instead of parsley and garlic powder + salt (didn’t have garlic salt). Reduced mayo and bread crumbs a bit (2 Tbsp and 3/4 cup). Thank you Natasha!
You’re welcome Aksana! I’m glad to hear how much you love the recipe. Thanks for sharing your great review!
Hi Natasha, instead of Salmon can I use tinned Tuna as my husband doesn’t like Salmon but loves the look of this recipe. Happy New Year from Northern Ireland XX.
Hi Karen and thank you for writing in from Ireland 😬. Happy New Year to you and your family as well!
Can I use the same recipe for crab meet
Hi James, I haven’t tried that substitution, but I bet lump crab meat would taste delicious here!
can these be made the day before you are going to serve them and just fry them when needed
Nancy
Hi Nancy, I think that would still work well to pre-mold them then cover and refrigerate until ready to cook the next day.
Delicious 🙂 My family loved them. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m happy to hear your family enjoys the recipe as much as mine does. Thanks for sharing!
Can I use regular bread crumbs? Making these this Friday for Christmas celebration. Can’t wait!
Regular breadcrumbs should still work in this recipe. I love the crunch of Panko crumbs, but regular breadcrumbs are OK.
Tried them, loved them! Making again this week. My husband doesn’t even like salmon, and he asked me to make these again. Thanks for the great recipe.
You’re welcome Lauren! I’m glad to hear you both enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
Delicious! Like a crab cake made with salmon. Thank you.
You’re welcome Craig! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I have 2 very hungry teenagers. How many patties are there? Should I double the recipe? Can serve with salad and rice of course
Maud, this recipe makes 13-14 patties. You can easily double the recipe 😬
I made this tonight for the first time and served it with baked Parmesan zucchini and salad. It is defiantly a keeper. So delicious and very easy to prepare.
Yum, that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers Rebecca!
I put some dijon mustard in. Great!
Great idea Barbara! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Ill be making these again tonight and they are delicious! We use a little fresh lemon squeezed over the top paired with the homemade tarter sauce…amazing! Thank you for such a quick and easy recipe!
You are very welcome Bre and thank you for the great review 😀
My husband and I LOVED these and your tarter sauce with them. He told me to just get rid of any other salmon patty recipe because this will be the go-to recipe from now on! We cut the recipe in half and just used one can of Kirkland salmon and it was perfect for 8 little patties. Well done and thank you!
You’re welcome Nancy! I’m glad to hear you both enjoy the recipe so much! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review with other readers!
I mixed this recepie and cooked it for supper tonight. All I can say is it was delicious. Look forward to having it again soon. I used fresh salmon and cooked fresh deep fried squash.
I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe Jerry! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review!
Turned out GREAT! Used yellow pepper instead of red to add a little extra sweetness to complement the salmon, omitted half the white onion and added 3 green onions mostly because I really never have parsley but always have green onion, and the green onion are a little more subtle. Also used 2tbl of mayo instead of 3 and 1 whole egg and two egg whites to reduce the calories. Great recipe, thx for sharing.
You’re welcome Ryan! I’m glad to hear you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
Tried this to night great and the tarter cause was great. Used can salmon next time fresh.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing Nancy!
They’ve been made here in Eastern Kentucky for as long as I can remember. We call them Salmon Patties. Growing up we bought a can of salmon. They are great with a big pot of macaroni and tomatoes!
Yum, that sounds great Jim!
Hi Natasha, I definitely will use your recipe one day soon. They look delicious and like the idea using bites size patties. Thought to add some dills. I will snap a picture and send it to you. Thank you for sharing Natasha.
Hello Natalie! This recipe is popular for good reason, I hope you love it! Please let me know what you think!
Can these be frozen before they are cooked?
Hi Jaye, I haven’t tried freezing before cooking, but I think it would be a great experiment! If you try it out, let me know 🙂
Did you try to freeze these? That was something I was wondering too!
What dipping sauce did you serve it with? it looks delicious!!
I use tartar sauce and the recipe is linked/mentioned in this recipe! I hope you love it!
Hi Natasha……….I tried the fresh salmon patties tonight and they are delicious. I intend to make them again and freeze, will let you know!!! I’m sure they will be just the same.
Thanks so much
You’re welcome Avi! I’m glad they are a hit! Thanks for sharing your review and please keep me posted!
Hi Natasha, these look great! I was wondering how well do they reheat and how to reheat them.
Thanks
Hi Jana, they are also very good at room temperature or reheating on a skillet works well 🙂
Just made these for the second time and had to come on and say thank you, Natasha! This recipe is absolutely delicious! So simple, too.
You’re welcome Philana! I’m glad to hear how much you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I ran across this recipe today, but didn’t have any fresh salmon on hand. But, I did have a can of boneless / skinless salmon. Was an amazing lunch! Can’t wait to try it with a good piece of fresh salmon.
Awesome! I’m glad to hear that Annette! Thanks for sharing!
We loved these, there were leftovers, so I crumbled them up added mayo and green onion for sandwiches.
I’m happy to hear that Florence! Thanks for sharing your great review with other readers!
They were delicious! I also loved the homemade sauce.
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Jean! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I made the salmon patties tonight and they were fantastic!!!! Definitely one of my favourites 😁👍
I’m happy to hear that Jan! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Can these be made in advance and cooked the next day?
Hi Cynthia, yes I think that would work fine if you formed the patties then covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.
I have a bunch of Red Snapper in my freezer that I believe would be good for this. Instead of frying, thinking about doing in a 425 oven on a rack. Any ideas about using Snapper and this method of cooking?
Hi, I think it could work fine to substitute for a different kind of fish. One of my readers reported good results baking but I haven’t heard back with the details on bake time and temperature. If you test it out that way, let me know how you like it.
I made these tonight using leftover grilled salmon and they were delicious! I omitted garlic since I can’t eat it and added chopped celery to the onion/pepper sauté mixture. Outstanding!! Five stars!!
I’m glad to hear you love the recipe JoAnn! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review!
Have you ever tried making larver and doing fancy sandwiches? I had a salmon burger at a tea room that was fantastic! Im hoping to recreate it.
Hi Kelsey! I haven’t tried anything like what you are describing. It sounds great though!
I made these once before without the mayo and just added extra olive oil. I couldn’t remember if I used my chopper for the onions and pepper or my food processor. Last night I used my food processor and they turned out very different…much more moist. I also think I may have used whole wheat breadcrumbs instead of panko the first time. Thoughts on this? I want to make sure I get it right next time. Thanks!
Hi Christina, I suspect the food processor caused the veggies to release more juice than a food chopper would so that may be why they were more moist? I would suggest going with whatever method you prefer.
Just made them tonight as an alternative option during Sunday Night football and everybody loved them! A+
Do we know the calorie count per patty?
I’m glad to hear everyone enjoys the recipe! Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you!
Looks amazing! Definitely going to make these this week. What would be a good side dish to make with these?
Hi Brenda, I think mashed potatoes and a fresh salad would go great with these.
