I've been making these for some time. They are great. Trying making some & put cheese sauce on them. I buy the cheese sauce on line from the states from Southwestern Mills. I can also find it on Ebay & Amazon. ENJOY!

I added crackers and 2 cloves of garlic.. Made patties and rolled in yellow corn meal. I didn't add corn meal in the patties.. These were so good!

My favorite way to eat salmon! I like these with cocktail sauce when they're hot and ketchup on a bun when they're cold right out of the fridge. I wish you'd make them for me more often.

Just a tip for crushing the crackers. There are lots of ways to do it, you can put them in a food processor but that could make them too fine. I take a pkg. of crackers and start whacking it with a knife sharpening steel until they are broken down to large crumbs. The I crunch it around in my hands a bit. Then I open the pkg. and add to the mixture. Works very well and crumbs are just the right size.

OMG this is the best ever recipe :) I did add dill and lemon pepper to it. Thank you for the recipe, as I don't like salmon in general this is super.

Perfect as is. Saltine crackers really make a difference in a lot of recipes. Even my husband will eat these, and he hates fish. Sometimes I also add some celery, green pepper and green onion, cutting back on the regular onion a bit. Careful or they'll fall apart with too much extra filling, though. Might try the jalapenos sometime for zip. Love these with some ketchup and mustard. He likes them with tarter or mayo. Goes good with mac 'n cheese and broccoli as sides!

Just for laughs, the next time you have a pile of left over french fries at your favorite burger place, bring them home and use them instead of the crackers...a whole new taste and you avoid wasting food as well.

Just knead them into chunks with your hands and then follow this recipe substituting the amount of fries for the amount of crackers. Works with many types of left over potato as well.

I love this! BUT, I have always left the BONES in! Just mix them in; they are very tiny... they are a great source of calcium!

True, lots of people eat the bones and they blend right in and you won't even notice them. It's just me, but I like to remove them.

I love this recipe. I always follow the recipe the first time I make it. Then you can adjust it. I like a little pinch of dill. I've made them a lot of ways. Mashed potatoes, cornmeal, flour, but the Crackers are the best. Lemon just goes with fish. Salmon cakes are my comfort food, with Mac and cheese and baked beans. It was the go to meal for my mother. When I have a bad day, its still what comforts me. I changed up the sauce some, I like sour cream, chopped up cucumbers (well drained), and a little dill and lemon juice. Give it a try.

My mother always made these for the family, made them exactly like these, so good however I substitute "Multi-Grain Club Crackers," I always prefer them when recipes call for saltines. My favorite two sides are cream style corn plus cold applesauce. These patties are delicious cold, directly out of the fridge as a snack, all by themselves! Incredible flavor when flavors mingle overnight! Don't forget to try them alone, you'll agree.

I make my salmon patties almost like yours. I never used lemon juice before. I'm going to try it that way. I bet they taste even better. they say lemon juice brings out the flavor more in foods. I'm glad I came acrossed your recipe. Thank you.
