Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, substitute the croutons with finely crushed whole grain crackers. You can also use fresh minced onion instead of instant for a more vibrant flavor. If you don’t have salmon, canned tuna works well too. Be sure to adjust seasoning as necessary, especially if using flavored croutons or soup.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon patties warm, drizzled with the mushroom-pea sauce. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For a delightful twist, serve alongside a side of Cajun Fried Crawfish Tails for a seafood feast. A squeeze of lemon adds a nice brightness.
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 for about 5 minutes on each side or heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Serve with the reheated mushroom-pea sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the salmon patties?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked salmon patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to an airtight container once frozen. They can be cooked directly from frozen, just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can make a quick substitute by mixing equal parts of sour cream and vegetable broth with sautéed mushrooms, or use any cream soup such as cream of chicken. This will provide a similar creamy texture and flavor profile.
How can I make these patties spicier?
To add some heat, mix in finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the salmon mixture before forming the patties. Alternatively, you could sprinkle some cayenne pepper in the mushroom-pea sauce for an extra kick.
