Empty 1 can salmon and juice into large mixing bowl (remove bones). Add 2 eggs. Add lemon juice. Stir mixture well. Add onion, pepper, crackers. Stir.

This Recipe is DELISH!!! I only add 1 Ingredient to it before cooking patties in my AirFryer. I microwave 1 medium Irish potato, mash it, add a little butter and/or milk to the potato & mix it into the salmon mixture before making the patties. DOUBLE DELICIOUS!!! Once you taste it with added mashed potato, you will NEVER go back. :)

My Dad used to make this all the time when he was alive. And now I do, quite often. They are absolutely delicious! The only difference is that I add a little bit of celery to this very recipe.

I'm a totally new and I want to make this. I went to the store and they have three sizes of saltine boxes one tube, two tubes, and four tubes. I bought the two and four tube boxes which one should I use?

 Tina (New York) replies:
Package = tube = sleeve. A box contains multiple packages.

 Julia (Ohio) says:
Personally, I think this is way too many crackers, but I never thought about them making it crunchy when you fry them in a half inch of oil. I use the same ingredients, just less. also, I save the liquid from the can and add some with one egg. I might try yours one day for a change. Thanks.

 Sammy (Washington) replies:
Actually this the perfect amount of crackers. It really adds to the crunch and flavor which is what you want. I was taught this recipe from my bosses elderly mother and she knew exactly what she was doing. I used to make these for my boss about twice a week for a year and he would have it no other way and I agree with him. Cut down on the crackers and you have a lesser salmon patty.

I like to add cornmeal to give it that added crunch.

 Nancy B. (California) says:
Took me a long time to find this, and it's just like my moms. Question: how many crackers or measured cups is "one whole package of Saltines"??
 #183242
 Sammy (Washington) replies:
I've never measured the cups per pkg. of saltines. But it takes a whole pkg. to make perfect salmon patties.
 #187367
 Schollmeyer Robert (Florida) replies:
People are getting hung up on the saltine "package". Stop calling the saltines a package. It is a sleeve of saltines from a box of crackers. This recipe sounds delicious I'm gonna try it.

 Nancy (New Mexico) says:
Exactly how my Mom made salmon patties! I occasionally add chopped-fine celery and a dash of Old Bay to this recipe. Just made salmon patties the other night and they were as good as always. This is a "never fail" recipe when followed exactly and if you make it enough, you won't have to look it up!
   #177869
 Nikki S. (California) says:
A good friend told me to check out this recipe. My only change was a light sprinkle of Old Bay on each patty. These are beautiful, easy, and the best I ever made. I minced red onion very small, and I cooked them in 1/2 butter and 1/2 peanut oil, medium high, 4 minutes per side. They came out looking like a picture in a magazine! You get a lot out of one can of salmon, so this is a very inexpensive meal. Beautiful, frugal, tasty, and quick to make.

I have been making these for some time. I also add cheese sauce on top. You can make your own or buy commercial.
