My Personal Tips

I prefer using canned salmon as it’s more convenient and affordable. However, you can also use fresh salmon if you prefer.

I like to use Ritz crackers for this recipe as they add a buttery flavor to the patties. But you can use any crackers you have on hand.

If the mixture is too dry, you can add a tablespoon of mayonnaise or sour cream to make it moist.

You can also add some chopped herbs such as parsley or dill to add more flavor.

I like to serve the patties with a side salad or some roasted vegetables.
