As a huge proponent of family meals, I’m a big fan of those that can be ready in 15-20 minutes, especially when you have toddler(s) or little ones home, starving. We rely on these toddler family meals throughout the year for sanity!

I love to cook, but there’s something about having little ones that takes away that joy. It has transitioned into necessary 30 minute recipes (or less when possible)! And since I’m a Registered Dietitian and conscious of serving healthy options, I love that these pineapple teriyaki salmon patties are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids – many people aren’t eating enough seafood.

Keeping canned or pouched salmon on hand as a pantry staple is key to eating more of it. Not to mention, it’s a budget-friendly way to get those DHA and EPA Omega 3 fatty acids.

Other favorites are these zucchini salmon fritters and sweetpotato salmon cakes too – all ready in under 20 minutes!

Ingredients Come Together for a 15 Minute Meal

Here’s what you need

• canned salmon or salmon pouches
• breadcrumbs
• canned or fresh pineapple
• egg
• lemon
• Sauces – For the ultimate flavor, we’re using a tiny bit of teriyaki sauce, sesame oil and soy sauce for an asian-inspired flavor
• Spices and herbs – We’re using brown sugar, garlic, ginger and basil!

How To Make Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon Patties

It’s incredibly easy – Simply mix all of your ingredients into a bowl, whisking the egg in last.

If you’re using canned pineapple, this step will take seconds. If you’re using fresh pineapple, you’ll need to dice it into small dice shapes, equal in size.

Then, you’ll form your into patty shapes and place them over medium-high heat and cook for about 5 minutes per side.

I generally just flip them once!

I promise you, this pineapple teriyaki salmon recipe is SOOO GOOD.

The sweetness and tart flavor from the pineapple juice and fruit pairs so nicely with a savory salmon flavor. Plus, it’s a quick family recipe that’s high in protein and gives you an easy serving of seafood.

If you want to pair these pineapple salmon patties with a salad, I recommend this broccoli kale salmon salad (just omit the salmon and add the patties on top)!
