Ingredients
Instructions

- Add cooked peas to the white sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of crushed crackers. You can also substitute the canned salmon with canned tuna for a different flavor. If you want a bit of heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. Ensure the white sauce is thick enough to hold the peas well when combined.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon patties hot, topped with the creamed peas for a comforting meal. They pair nicely with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced dinner. For a more filling option, try serving them with mashed potatoes or rice. This dish also pairs beautifully with Pea And Crabmeat Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh salmon. Cook it first, then flake it and mix it with the other ingredients. Just ensure it’s well-seasoned and cooked through, as the texture will differ from canned salmon.
What can I substitute for white sauce?
If you prefer a healthier option, you can use Greek yogurt or a creamy avocado sauce as a substitute for white sauce. They’ll add creaminess with fewer calories. Just mix in cooked peas and season well.
Can I freeze the salmon patties?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked patties. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, thaw them in the fridge overnight and then fry as directed.
