Notes
Expert Tips for Making the Best Salmon Patties
Try to pick out the larger round bones and extra skin.
The bones are soft so if you miss some don't worry. They will blend in with the fish.
Salmon patties should be about three inches in diameter and not too thick to ensure even cooking.
Mix and form all patties before heating the oil or beginning the cooking process.
Have your salad or sides ready so that you can serve the salmon patties immediately.
How to Freeze Salmon Patties
Freeze before cooking.
Spread the salmon patties out on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for several hours until the salmon patties are frozen.
Wrap the salmon patties in plastic wrap and then place inside a large freezer bag.
When ready to use the frozen salmon patties, remove from freezer and allow to thaw then cook as described above.
