Cooking for just two people can be its own kind of challenge — you want something hearty and satisfying, but you don’t want to be stuck with a week’s worth of leftovers either. These salmon patties have become one of our go-to answers for busy weeknights when we want something simple but still homemade.
This recipe starts with Alaskan pink salmon, which is budget-friendly without sacrificing flavor, making it a smart choice if you’re trying to stretch a grocery budget without cutting corners on a good meal. I walk through exactly how I prepare it in the video, including the one small ingredient that really elevates the whole dish.
I like to round the meal out with sweet peas and mashed potatoes, which gives you a plate that feels like a complete, comforting dinner without a lot of extra effort. It’s the kind of meal that comes together quickly enough for a weeknight but still feels like you sat down to something home-cooked.
If you’re looking for budget-friendly meals that don’t skimp on flavor, or you’re just trying to find new ways to use canned or pantry salmon, this recipe is worth adding to your regular rotation. It’s simple enough for a beginner but satisfying enough that you’ll want to make it again.
