Making Salmon Patties is so easy. It is simply combining canned Salmon with Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Green Onions, Red Pepper Flakes, Minced Garlic, Egg, Panko Breadcrumbs, shredded Parmesan Cheese, Salt, and Pepper.

You can also use fresh Salmon to make Salmon Patties. In fact, it would be really great if you can get your hands on fresh salmon.

But, if you can't find fresh salmon and all you got is canned Salmon then go ahead and use them. I can tell you, you are going to love this Salmon Patty recipe.

Tips for Making this recipe:

• Allow Salmon patties to sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour before frying them or baking them.
• They will be wet so when they refrigerate, the moisture gets soaked up and the salmon patties hold their shape.
• While frying make sure your oil is smoking heat.
• Once you place the Salmon patties lower the heat and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Salmon Patties in Air fryer

These days the number of things our Air Fryer can do is totally sweeping us off our feet. But, the point is, I haven't tried mine in Air Fryer. I am definitely going to try it and tell you how it turned out. My only concern is that these patties were not as dry as you'd expect a hamburger to be.

Baked Salmon Patties

Baked Salmon patties are just as tasty as fried Salmon patties. Baking Salmon patties will also lower the calorie count. To bake your Salmon patties, Preheat your oven to 425F and bake them for 15-minutes or until golden brown.

How to Make Salmon Patties with Crackers?

Though I have not used Crackers to make these salmon patties. But, in case you don't have breadcrumbs you can use crushed Saltine crackers to make salmon patties.

So, in case you are wondering how to make Salmon patties without breadcrumbs or if you are thinking about how to thicken your Salmon Patties batter without panko then use crushed saltine crackers.
