I love salmon patties, but not just any salmon patties. They’ve got to be my momma’s! If you’re thinking you’re not really into salmon patties, don’t give up on them just yet. At least not until you have given these ones a try. They are super yummy and they do not require a lot of ingredients or a lot of time.
I got this recipe from my mother. It is the salmon patty recipe I always stick to now because I can always count on my family to gobble them up. I actually double this recipe when I make it now, because if I don’t there is never enough. If we do happen to have any leftovers they can be reheated and eaten for lunch the next day. These bad boys make great leftovers because they taste just as good the next day as they did the day you made them.

Please email the smart points for this salmon patty recipe. Love your website. Will recommend it to all my Weight Watcher friends.
Thank you for asking about the smart points for our salmon patties.
I love this recipe and, honestly, I had forgotten all about it! I posted it a long time ago, before I was doing Weight Watchers, so the WW SP were not included.
I updated the recipe just a tad bit, using light mayo instead of regular and cutting back on butter, but the taste should stay the same.
Calculating the points, with the revisions, it is 4 WW SP per salmon patty.
Thanks again, for bringing attention to this recipe. It did need a little love and I think I will use it again in a meal plan soon. 🙂
I don’t see the amount for the green onions and cayenne pepper. Can you please add the amount to the recipe? Thanks
Oh! My apologies. I have added the amounts of those ingredients. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
I don’t see an amount on the green onions or the cayenne pepper.
I came across this recipe and intend to try it. Question: It says Light Mayo in the recipe but shows a picture of Miracle Whip. Which should I use?
