Yumm!!! Flaky on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My 11 year old son couldn't get enough! Thanks for a quick, easy, and delicious recipe.

Very good recipe.... I also altered it s little bit. I took the advice from a previous comment from Beth & added 2 cups of Panko bread crumbs & drained the juice from the canned salmon, only added a little bit of juice, but it really doesn't need any. To me it makes better parties. Other than that I follow the recipe has written.

My grandmother used to make salmon patties from scratch, but all I remember is salmon eggs and crackers. Any help is appreciated. Dena

Canned salmon, 2 eggs and one pkg. (sleeve) of crushed saltine crackers is all that is really necessary for delicious salmon patties. The onions are optional, not everyone likes onions. The lemon juice is optional but I believe adds a very good flavor to the patties. Fry in oil deep enough to get a good crunchy coating on the patty, about 1/2 inch oil at med. high heat. Do that and you will have a terrific salmon patty that you and your family will love. Enjoy!

That almost the same as what my mother handed down. She never added the lemon juice. Have to try it. Some of the other item also sound like tasteful additives. We always serve with mashed potatoes covered with creamed peas. I like ketchup on mine and my husband uses mustard.

Super tasty. Made theses many times. I spray my electric skillet with olive oil. They come out crispy brown without the added oil. Also great on the grill.

A lot of people are trying so many different things instead of the saltine crackers. Like panko, rolling in corn meal, ritz crackers etc. Those might be good but I suggest trying the original recipe first. You might be surprised just how good the saltines make these patties taste. I think it is key to the recipe. Best to ya! Sammy.

 Rose (Illinois) says:
Added one diced celery stalk and one egg. You didn't say if I was to drain it or not, so I did, so maybe that's why it seemed dry till I added the egg. Gave it a shot of mayo. Got rave reviews. Thanks!

 Shawn (Minnesota) says:
I use half a sleeve of saltines. And half a bag of cheese & garlic croutons it adds so much flavor to the patties.

These sound great! After seeing a recipe for fish cakes in a southern women's magazine, I've starting using mashed/cooked parsnips for most of the filler, and only a little bit of cracker crumbs or bread crumbs. Parsnips are very mild, cook quickly, and add FIBER and VITAMINS! :) They are delicious. Thanks!
