Salmon is not only healthy but it is one of the top selling fish varieties sold around the nation. Trader Joe’s now has Premium Salmon Patties which are made from 100% salmon. Check out this review to see how these salmon patties shape up against other salmon selections sold elsewhere.
My family is on a healthy journey to living a better lifestyle, this year’ New Years’ Resolution. Thankfully Trader Joe’s is only a twenty minute drive from our house and has many healthy foods to chose from, our latest choice was the Premium Salmon Patties. Located in the frozen entrée section, you can purchase five patties for under $5.00. In other stores two fillets are around $20.00 which is not reasonable for an entire family living on a budget.
The patties are the circular shape a fit well on a hamburger bun for outdoor BBQ parties or can be eaten alone. They come frozen and ready to cook and serve. In addition the packaging states the fillets are skinless and boneless however we did find a few small bones. Therefore I suggest checking the patties carefully before serving to small children.

Ingredients:
The salmon is wild and caught in icy cold waters of the Northern Pacific Ocean. These are 100% natural and actually contain no additives, fillers or even preservatives. Since they are wild, this means that the fish are no raised in small buildings and are supposed to have more nutrients than other store brands.
Usually my family stays away from frozen salmon patties but was impressed that these were only made with salmon, water and salt. To cook, simply take the patties from the freezer (no need to thaw) and cook in a pan, conventional oven and/or the BBQ. We chose to fry the patties over the stove for about five minutes on each side.
The taste was much more than we expected, although fresh salmon is incomparable. The salmon patties taste just like salmon however are much tougher than preferable. We ate our salmon patties plain however they would taste much better if eaten as a sandwich.
We highly suggest these premium salmon patties, especially in sandwiches at a party. These are great substitutes to hamburgers and can be served to guests without them knowing you saved a little money in the process.
