Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh salmon, but you'll need to cook it first. Poach or bake the fresh salmon, then flake it into the mixture. This will add a different texture and flavor profile compared to canned salmon.
What can I substitute for cracker crumbs?
If you don't have cracker crumbs, you can use breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes. For a gluten-free option, consider almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs, which will still provide a nice texture for the topping.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, try incorporating a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños into the mixture. You could also serve it with a spicy dipping sauce or hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy a kick.
