If you've ever had Trifecta salmon, you know it's arguably one of the most delicious proteins we offer. So naturally, we had to create a recipe that turned one of our best items into an even better meal. With the help of your Trifecta salmon, these tasty cakes only take about 15 minutes to make!

About This Recipe 

Prepare the perfect salmon cake with Trifecta Salmon and a few simple but flavorful ingredients.

To make a kind of seafood cake all you need is the seafood, a binder (typically egg), and a filler (usually breadcrumbs). You can also use crushed crackers, cornflakes, or crispy rice cereal as a filler to help hold the cake together. 

Our sustainably caught Salmon is incredibly savory, which makes it our most popular fish. It is oven-roasted, lightly seasoned, and comes with many benefits including high protein and Omega-3s.
