This salmon patties recipe is a nice treat while camping. It is easy to make and can provide leftovers for two people after a gorgeous hike to Laughing Falls.
It is easy to fry up the salmon patties at your campsite. I suggest preparing the salmon patties beforehand at home and keeping them on ice in your cooler. This will help them hold their shape while cooking. I would eat them the first day you arrive at your campsite so they don’t spoil. If you wish, you can make the entire recipe while camping. Just note, that when making the patties, it can be a bit messy. Having a campsite with washing stations like Waterfowl Lakes can help with the cleanup.
Tip: Make sure there aren’t any fish guts or smell remnants on your campsite once you’re done eating. Your cooler should remain inside your vehicle so you don’t attract bears!
Use the kind of fish that you like. Tuna can be substituted for a different type of fish if you prefer. I use cans of boneless and skinless salmon for easier patty preparation. It will take approximately one and a half hours including preparing, refrigerating or placing them in your cooler, then frying them up. I like to use naan bread with garlic and chives to add some taste to my meal. Using vanilla yogourt with lemon juice adds a tasty dipping sauce.
Waterfowl Lakes is a unique camping spot in Alberta that offers kayaking, swimming, hiking, relaxation, and an opportunity to explore. Flushable toilets, drinking water, and storage lockers are available. Picnic shelters are provided should inclement weather be present during your camping trip.
Enjoy your salmon patties meal on your breathtaking camping road trip from Edmonton to Kelowna!
