Very good indeed. This is the first time I've ever cooked salmon patties. Next time I'm going to add a touch of garlic powder. I should have tried this one back during the season of Lent. :)

My family LOVES these. I have a very picky husband, a 5 yr old and a 1 yr old. They all loved them. I did add 1/2 cup of mayo, 1 tsp mustard and 1/4 tsp dill warmed and served as a dipping sauce. Great recipe!! Thank you!

The best salmon patties I have eaten. I added parsley flakes and garlic powder. I also made the 1/2 cup mayo, 1 tsp mustard, and about 1/2 dill sauce. Awesome. One of my girls would never eat salmon patties. She ate these up.

Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. The only thing I do different is use the canned salmon with the bones & skin already removed. And, I double the recipe, because there's never enough!

Almost exactly what my Nana used to make for my little cousins and brother when we were kids! I used one chopped green bell pepper and a small yellow onion though.

I've never used breadcrumbs in my patty recipes because I never had the time or patience to stand there and toast bread then crunch it up, but I found some saltine crackers and it took the patties to another level! Best ever :3 thank you so much for the refresher recipe!

Will try this today. Am anxious to try with Ritz & lemon juice. Have always wanted a good sauce - so am also going to try Jason's sauce recipe - would have to be great with this. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent!! Made these for lunch today. The only change I made was to add a chopped fresh Jalapeņo w/seeds in addition to the onion.

 Katelyn (Louisiana) says:
I made these once before using this recipe and they turned out wonderful, but tonight I decided to add a whole onion instead of half (I'm new to the cooking game)... completely fell apart in the skillet. I just let the mess finish frying, and then I drained the grease using a strainer, mixed the fried salmon mush with some white gravy and served over rice, turned out amazing!

This was my very first time making salmon patties by myself and they turned out great! My mom made them all the time for my sisters and I growing up, and these are actually better than hers. Ssshh, don't tell her that. :)

This is actually an old recipe. I was taught how to make them back in 1979 by an 85 year old lady, my boss's mother. Grandmas know best. A very simple recipe, so simple that many people cannot believe that it would taste good so they start adding other ingredients that do not improve the recipe at all. Go with the original recipe and you will be very happy. Trust me.

Never made salmon patties... But do I use red or pink salmon. Don't care about the cost... So which do you think best? Also one pack of saltines... Not sure if that is one whole box? One sleeve? I'm a cook who needs lots of coaching (as you can see). Thanks. My mom made... But alas, she's gone, and I never paid attention.

I use pink Salmon (Bumble Bee, Icy Point etc.) and it works very well. Use the whole can and pick out the bones if you wish.
