  • Transfer cooked cakes to a paper-towel lined plate to absorb excess oil, and serve.
  • Wrap leftover salmon cakes individually in plastic wrap, and freeze in a large freezer bag.
  • Reheating instructions: Do not thaw – reheat from frozen. Remove desired number of salmon cakes from freezer bag and plastic wrap. Reheat in a 400 degree oven or toaster oven. Alternatively, heat a tiny bit of olive oil in a nonstick pan, and lightly saute frozen cakes until re-crisped and heated throughout.

      Right! My fam gets so excited when I make any type of seafood and grits. Half my extended family calls them “croquettes,” too! Either way, they’re yummy 🙂
