Salmon Cakes & Pickled Fish

Cook Salmon Sisters staples with Emma & Claire

We had the pleasure of cooking some of our go-to salmon recipes with a fun group online this week and wanted to share the recording from our virtual class with our paid Substack subscribers in case you’re looking for some salmon-cooking inspiration.

Salmon Cakes are one of our favorite ways to use up salmon leftovers or the canned/jarred salmon in our pantry. They’re easy to prepare and a quick healthy meal, best enjoyed with your favorite dipping sauce and a bright crunchy salad on the side. Springtime is the season when we start thinking about eating up the frozen salmon in the freezer to make room for the coming summer’s fresh catch. Pickled salmon can be made with those fillets in the freezer, salted and cut up into bite-size chunks. Keep a jar pickling in your refrigerator to have tasty protein snacks on hand whenever you need a bite. Pickling fish is a fun weekend food project, and easy for kids to help chop, measure and pack jars. Both of these recipes are from our first cookbook, The Salmon Sisters: Feasting, Fishing and Living in Alaska. We hope you enjoy (and excuse Alaska’s bright 5pm light streaming through the windows)!
