This is a super easy and quick dinner to prepare for your family. On nights when you're low on time, it can be tempting to get fast food or pizza. While that's okay sometimes, it isn't good to do all the time. That's why we've made recipes like this one, so that you can make nutritious meals for your family that don't take forever to prepare.
As a bonus, the ingredients needed for this recipe are few. That will help keep your grocery spend down, allowing you to spend more money on other areas of need. Plus, this recipe is on the healthier side due to its use of salmon.
You can eat these patties on their own, or throw them on a bun for a nice sandwich. They're a nice alternative to hamburgers if you're looking for something healthier and lower in calories. Use whatever sandwich buns you'd like.
We recommend serving these patties with either corn on the cob or broccoli. Corn on the cob is a great choice if you're making these patties in the summer, while broccoli can work well at any time of the year. Fresh or frozen corn on the cob or broccoli will do just fine.
