Even fish-haters love these salmon cakes. Most of us who grew up eating dinner around the table with our families have a few heavily rotated meals that we remember, and a big one for me was salmon patties! A plate of freshly-fried salmon cakes with a side of mac and cheese and frozen peas was a standard in my house growing up. Decades later, salmon patties just like Mom use to make are still in constant rotation in my house! Salmon cakes are a wonderful way to get all the glorious flavor and nutrition of salmon in an easy, weeknight pantry meal. You can use fresh or frozen salmon filets to make these cakes, but they really are made for canned salmon—which is more affordable than fresh, easy to work with, readily available, and a great option to keep stocked in your pantry. This no-fuss meal is so tasty that even fish-haters will gobble these cakes up! Ingredients for salmon cake sit in a white bowl.

What do I need to make salmon patties?

While you can absolutely make salmon cakes with fresh or frozen salmon fillets (see notes in the recipe), I’m recommending that you use canned salmon here. The taste is very similar, but canned salmon makes the cakes so much easier and faster to put together. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper! For the rest of the ingredients, you have options: you can either use fresh herbs, or you can stick with things you probably already have in your pantry. The salmon is the star of the show here, after all, so if you don’t have fresh dill or parsley on hand, no problem! No eggs? That’s okay—you can still make some great salmon patties. If you have chia seeds or ground flax seeds, you can make substitute eggs by combining 2 tablespoons of the seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Alternatively, 2 tablespoons of gelatin powder mixed with water will work as well.

What kind of salmon should I buy?

Wild Alaskan sockeye or pink salmon is your best bet because it has the best flavor, best nutrition, and is the highest quality, but any wild salmon is a good choice. If Wild Alaskan salmon is out of your price race, we recommend checking Seafood Watch to find more affordable options that are sustainably sourced and high quality.

How do I grill salmon?

A lot of folks are intimidated by grilling fish because they are afraid it’ll stick or fall apart. Here’s our method for grilling perfect salmon filets:
  1. Heat the grill to medium-high to high heat.
  2. Liberally oil the grill grates.
  3. Place the fish on the grill. If the filet has skin, put the skin side UP.
  4. Don’t touch the salmon! You’re waiting for the salmon to caramelize and sear where it is in contact with the grill grates, which will take 2-3 minutes. The salmon will naturally release from the grill when it is properly seared.
  5. Flip the filet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes (or a touch more if you have thick filets) until the salmon is opaque and flaky.

Wholefully Protip

Once the salmon is on the grill, DON’T move it until it is time to flip the filets. You’ll end up with flakes of salmon all over your grill, instead of on your plate.

I'm not sure when avocado toast became a "thing" but, dude, did I ever jump on that bandwagon. And I'm so happy I did! Avocado toast is crazy tasty, filling, super healthy, and of course, easy as all get out. Now, it's really hard to beat just classic avocado toast. If you've never made it before, it's simple as can be. Just toast your favorite whole grain bread (might I recommend Dave's Killer Bread Powerseed—it's packed with whole grains and seeds, but it's still super soft and fluffy—SO GOOD), and then put some ripe avocado on it. You can mash the avocado, slice it, or even make an avocado rose with it (if you want to learn how, I just uploaded a video to the Wholefully Facebook page with a quick tutorial).  And then I like to top it with salt and pepper. Eat and enjoy. 8 Sweet and Savory Ways to Eat Avocado Toast But even though "plain" avocado toast is a staple in my house, I also like to mix it up sometimes. Avocado toast is incredibly versatile—you can eat it for breakfast, lunch or snacks—and avocado is such a mild flavor, it works with sweet, savory—almost anything! I pulled together eight of my favorite sweet and savory avocado toast combos to show you just how crazy awesome avocado toast can be. Try these out, and tell me which one is your fave in the comments (or tell me your favorite combo that isn't listed here). Let's dig in!

I am so excited for this week's posts, guys! I've partnered up with my good friends at Blue Diamond Almonds to bring you three unique recipes over the next few days, spotlighting their latest and greatest products. It's a Blue Diamond takeover on Wholefully! We're kicking off the week with a cheesy and hearty dip recipe that is the perfect choice for dipping with Blue Diamond's Almond Nut Thins. Nut Thins are a favorite in our house—they are thin and crispy, gluten-free, and packed full of protein. I tend to be a fan of thinner crackers, but thin crackers aren't so great for dipping into thick, hearty dips like this one—not the case for Nut Thins! Nut Thins are thin and crispy, but strong enough to hold their own with cheesy, thick dips. It's the best of both worlds!

It was way back in the LiveJournal days (hands up, LJ lovers), and I was part of a community there that shared healthy recipes. One day after work, I thought it would be fun to photograph all my steps to make these baked salmon fish sticks—a recipe that we absolutely loved in our house—and share it with the group. So I snapped photos while I worked in our tiny apartment kitchen, I wrote out the step-by-step instructions, and then posted the recipe to the community. I woke up the next morning to an inbox filled with comment notifications from people who were so excited by the recipe and by my write up. Hundreds of people wanted me to keep posting recipes—and I thought huh, who knew people liked recipes so much? It would be years after that post that I finally got enough confidence to start a healthy food blog of my own (seriously, I waited for years because I thought no one would never care about what I had to say), but that LiveJournal post was definitely the catalyst for me eventually launching Wholefully. I am forever grateful to those people who read that post and gave me such wonderful feedback (in fact, I think a few of you still read, now—hi, LJ friends!).
