Tofu & Salmon Patties
If you’re looking for a simple, nutrient-packed recipe that’s perfect for your little ones, these tofu and salmon patties are such a winner! They’re soft, flavorful, packed with protein, and come together quickly with just a handful of ingredients. I love making a batch of these during the week for an easy lunch or dinner for little ones!
Servings 8 patties
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked salmon flaked (fresh or canned, make sure there are no bones)
- 1/2 cup firm tofu pressed and crumbled finely
- 1/3 cup finely chopped broccoli
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons flour all-purpose, oat, or whole wheat — adjust if mixture is too wet
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
- Oil for pan frying
Instructions
- Combine the base: In a large bowl, mix together the flaked salmon and crumbled tofu.
- Add the binders: Stir in the egg, flour, garlic powder, and parsley. The mixture should hold together when pressed - if it feels too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
- Shape the patties: Scoop out portions and gently form into small patties using your hands.
- Cook the patties: Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan over medium heat. Pan fry each patty for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the patties to cool slightly before serving to babies. Serve with your favorite sides for older kids and adults.
