Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute the canned salmon with fresh cooked salmon. You can also use any type of canned vegetable instead of corn, such as diced bell peppers or peas. If you don't have mixed cracker crumbs, you can crush plain crackers or use breadcrumbs. Make sure to adjust the seasoning, as some crackers may be salted.
