No, I’m not talking about those little sugar bombs otherwise known as cupcakes. These meat cakes made me say oooooo baby! Summertime usually includes a ton of grilled meat & veg and bountiful seafood in my world. I had a can of salmon (bones & skin included because it’s cheap!) on hand and I found this recipe for Maryland style salmon cakes on Kath’s blog. I love the fact that these are broiled instead of fried and you can make them gluten free by using the flour of your choice! I followed the recipe exactly except I used coconut flour and a Parisien herb blend instead of just dill. Don’t let the skin/bones freak you out, I mash the pin bones and only pull out the vertebrae (spinal column) because I just don’t enjoy that kind of ‘crunch’ in my cakes 
All my ingredients assembled + 1 egg & 14oz can 365 Alaskan salmon from whole paycheck:
I formed 6 medium-large patties and 7th smaller one. Popped it in the oven on low broil for 20mins and there it is! Perfectly crusted salmon cakes. These are going to form part of my lunch this week and I cannot wait! I like to make a sriracha-mayo dipping sauce with smoked paprika but these would also be yummy with a mustard-dill sauce as well. Maybe Katie will have some sauce ideas? 
Oh…and we picked up a Weber this weekend. Grill master can hardly wait to do up some lamb kebabs!
1. Do you like crab or salmon cakes? Give me the salmon cake but if there are actual legs in the picture, well…crab on!
2. Do you like meat on a stick? I prefer it actually (TWSS?)
3. Who’s the grill master in your house? I think the photo speaks for itself in the delicate place household!
Oh yum we need to share a meal together! I love making spicy crab cakes with panko crumbs and a mango salsa to go with! I’ve never tried salmon cakes but now I think I will!!
i’m always trying to find new ways to eat fish. i do eat a good bit of red meat but in the summer i’m craving seafood like crazy!
they look awesome and when i saw those on her blog, i wished i was allergic big time to shrimp and crab b/c i want them! great job!
these are shrimp and crab free
if you ever decide to put salmon into your diet i’d recommend these! super tasty and the herb and lemon freshness are strong. i think everything tastes brighter with a touch of lemon juice!
I love salmon cake, this looks perfect!
would you believe this is my first time eating a fish cake?!
I actually only eat salmon in cake form. As for sauces – I personally think a lemon-dill mustard would be AMAZING with this. Or you could go tropical with a pineapple-coconut sauce. I know you love your coconut oil, so just mix it with some pineapple or mango and blend!
i knew you’d come through!! the tropical blend does sound really good, i think i’d use cilantro instead of the dill herb mix if i was using that mango-coconut sauce yum!
i love salmon but never had salmon cakes, sounds good!
i grew up with grilled food, my dad is the best griller if there is such a word
dad’s always seem to be the master of the grill! they perfected the craft!!
YUM! I love both crab AND salmon cakes, and have had cans of both in the pantry for months in anticipation of cake-making! Hopefully soon…
do ittttttttt! this will not disappoint! promise
