This Baked Salmon Cakes recipe can also be found in my cookbook! BEST FORK FORWARD: Everyday Dinners After Weight Loss Surgery
This is one of the recipes that looks like it has too many ingredients but in reality is simple to get together. The ingredients are nothing you’ve never heard of and marry together for a great texture and flavor combination!
Salmon is such a great way to change up your protein source and can be made so many ways. Fresh is certainly my preferred choice when using salmon, but the frozen fillets or even canned salmon can make a really easy and delicious dinner.
I love these Baked Salmon Cakes with the pieces of onion and yellow pepper mixed in the hearty patty. It’s a very filling bariatric meal!

Can you substitute crab for the salmon?
I haven’t done it (not a lot of great options for Crab in Kansas!!!) but I would imagine so. Let me know if you try it!
