Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like dill or parsley into the mixture. If you don't have seafood breader, you can use breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of cornmeal for a similar texture. Adjust Old Bay seasoning to your taste, and feel free to add a splash of lemon juice for brightness. These patties can also be baked instead of fried for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve salmon patties with a side of tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon for a fresh touch. They pair beautifully with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables, making them a versatile dish. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside mashed potatoes or a refreshing coleslaw. They also make a great addition to a seafood platter, alongside dishes like Broiled Tuna Sandwiches.
Storage & Reheating
Store 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 until warmed through, or use an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure they remain crispy.
