Helpful Tips
I have never had an issue with the salmon cakes not holding together when following this recipe. However, if your patties are falling apart, stir another tablespoon of mayonnaise into the salmon mixture.
Use a measuring scoop to ensure all the patties are the same size.
Make sure your oil is hot before putting the patties into the pan. It should sizzle and pop when a drop of water is thrown in.
Don’t crowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon patties from getting crisp, and also make it difficult to flip them.
Don’t move the patties around at all, and flip them only once.
Store leftover salmon patties in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days. To reheat, use the microwave or air fryer.
To freeze, place the cooled patties in a zip-lock bag on it’s side, or freezer container in a single layer. Freeze for up to 3 months and defrost in the fridge overnight.
