Notes
Tips for the best salmon patties
- Use canned salmon or cooked salmon flaked into small pieces.
- Always pat the salmon dry or squeeze out any excess liquid to help the patties stick together better.
- Add vegetables. But chop them finely. Large pieces of onion, peppers, or celery will make the patties fall apart.
- Focus on flavor. Add garlic, black pepper, and a bit of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Bake them on a hot pan brushed with oil to get a nice crispy finish.
