Tips & Warnings
Freeze the salmon patties with layers of parchment paper or waxed paper between the patties to prevent sticking. Remove the patties from the freezer and fry them while they are still frozen.
Add cracker crumbs instead of breadcrumbs. Add Worcestershire sauce to give the salmon patties additional zing. If the patties are not binding together enough, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour.
