Salmon Patties

If you’re a fan of crab cakes, then here’s a new recipe to tempt you: Simple salmon patties that make use of two pantry staples: steel-cut oats and canned salmon, which are flavored with scallions, Dijon, and parsley. Serve these with sliced avocado, lightly dressed greens, and a lemon wedge for a light meal, or layer on a toasted brioche buns with tartar sauce, Bibb leaves, and pickled red onions. Make-ahead tip: The patties freeze well—make a batch to have on hand for the nights when cooking feels like too much.
