Preheat oven to 400°F. Mist a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, flake the salmon. Add the chopped vegetables and all remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts. Shape each into an individual patty. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, turning once. The patties are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Serve with a side of rice, corn or quinoa and/or a green vegetable for a complete dinner or take a lesson from a southern girl and enjoy them for breakfast with grits!

Very tasty and healthy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

Made this recipe using fresh dill instead of parsley. Made them much smaller to serve as a one bite appetizer. Garnished with a small dollop of sour cream, caviar and a tiny sprig of dill. Will definitely make these again.

HI .. this is exactly what I am looking for . I made the fry - pan, almost same ingredients but was worried about the egg being thoroughly cooked inside. With this oven bake method , I feel much safer and will check internal temp. I made half the recipe for one person, ate half the burgers on toast brushed with mayo,. substituted oat flour ( just ground the oatmeal to flour) for the crumbs and threw in my own spices,. onion and garlic granules, thyme, oregano, basil , celery seed, pepper etc. Delicious !!

I used an extra egg and used dill weed and powdered onion. This is just what I had hoped it would be. Delicious!

Delicious is an understatement! This recipe will be my go-to whenever I make salmon cakes. I tweaked the recipe just a wee bit. I added ground mustard and no-salt seasoning, in addition to the above ingredients, san Dijon mustard . Baking salmon cakes taste so much better than fried! As sides, we had fresh collard greens and baked cinnamon sweet potatoes. A true Southern meal! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Used wild steelhead left over from an filter I baked the night before. Replaced the Pablo with almond flour straight across and 2 tsp of chia (I was thinking it would help it all bind together some I want doing almond flour and cheese. They turned out great! I’d add a bit more salt if you don’t used canned or just as it on top once it comes out of the oven. Thanks for the recipe!
