Mediterranean Salmon Cakes Recipe with Spinach and Feta

Salmon Cakes

Crispy, golden salmon cakes with spinach, feta, lemon, and herbs — a Mediterranean-inspired delight.

Ingredients

Scale

500g fresh salmon fillets (or canned, drained)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 small red onion, finely diced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 egg, lightly beaten

½ cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

Salt & pepper, to taste

23 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Greek yogurt with lemon & dill

Fresh salad or pita bread

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon: If using fresh salmon, steam, bake, or poach until just cooked through, then flake into a large mixing bowl. If using canned, drain well before adding.

  • Mix the filling: Add spinach, feta, onion, garlic, dill or parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper to the salmon. Mix gently until well combined.

  • Shape the cakes: Form the mixture into small patties, about 6–8 depending on size.

  • Cook to golden perfection: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.

 

  • Serve & enjoy: Plate with Greek yogurt sauce, a fresh salad, or warm pita bread for a complete meal.
