Tips & Substitutions
For a different flavor, try adding chopped onions or bell peppers to the mixture. If you don’t have cornmeal, you can substitute with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior. A dash of hot sauce can also enhance the flavor. These patties are versatile and can be used in Tuna Or Salmon Salad Sandwiches for a delicious twist.
Serving Suggestions
These tasty salmon patties pair well with a fresh salad or coleslaw for a light meal. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce like tartar or a Cream Sauce For Shrimp, Lobster Or Chicken for added richness. For a filling dinner, consider serving alongside roasted vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooked salmon patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to reheat, use a skillet over medium heat with a little oil to crisp them up again, or reheat in an oven at 350°F until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?

How can I make these patties gluten-free?
