Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, you can substitute the crushed soda crackers with breadcrumbs or almond flour. Adding diced bell peppers or celery can enhance the flavor and texture of the patties. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Remember to handle the patties gently to prevent them from falling apart on the grill.
Serving Suggestions
These grilled salmon patties are delicious served on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and a tangy tartar sauce. For a refreshing side, serve with a Mcdougal Salad or steamed vegetables. They also pair wonderfully with a light quinoa salad or roasted sweet potatoes, making for a balanced meal. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side or until heated through. You can also microwave them for quick reheating, but be cautious not to overcook, as this can dry them out.
