So simple, so delicious! I've been making salmon patties for a long time. I've been overdoing them. This recipe is great!

My Mom, who had to provide for 6 hungry kids when I was growing up, made salmon patties from salmon, eggs, pepper and crackers. However, adding the onion and lemon juice, as you suggest, improves the flavor tremendously! Thanks for posting this recipe. It is very good. My husband (from Alabama) especially likes it when I make a white gravy from the leftover salmon juice, so he can pour it on his mashed potatoes. I don't get it, since I'm from Ohio, but he likes it. Thanks again! Josette

I agree with Josette. Thank you, I enjoyed the patties very much.

Very easy, even for a bachelor to make. They taste great! My Mom had a recipe very close to this, so I was eager to try it.

My husband and I are eating these as I write and they are fantastic!

This is a great recipe!! Love it. I added some jalapenos for an extra kick. It did not need it, but I like the heat. Thank you for posting it. Very simple and GOOD!!

I used to make these with breadcrumbs, but they are so much better with the cracker crumbs - whole family loved them!

Cooked for my family and all loved it. Also very easy to make. Thanks so much.

These salmon patties really are the best ones I have had. The recipe is so simple to make not to mention cheap. I doubled the ingredients in mine.

I've been struggling trying to find a good salmon pattie recipe. Let me assure you, you won't be disappointed with these! Excellent and so easy to make.

Try Ritz crackers in place of regular saltines!

i tried the Ritz crackers too and it was so delicious!

Imagine my surprise to find my hubby's salmon patty recipe posted on your site! He learned the recipe from the mother of his former boss 30 years ago! I love them so much! Leftover patties are good in a sandwich with ketchup. Sam is making them tonight and I can't wait.

Thanks for the recipe! I had to improvise a little but they were still delicious - instead of the crackers, I used roughly 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs (which are great in meatloaf too), added about a 1/2 teaspoon salt, and instead of chopped white or yellow onion, I used what I had on hand, about a big handful of chopped green onions and followed the rest of the recipe - used Olive Oil on a setting 6 on an electric stove top - they were perfect!

This is the same recipe my mother handed down to me, only thing different is she would mix mayo and mustard, warm it and pour it over the fried salmon patties. GOOD STUFF!!

This is the same recipe my mother used except we rolled the patties in yellow corn meal before frying. Really makes them crunchy.

Your going to have to trust me on this. Make them using only saltine crackers and they will be so crunchy you will be gobsmacked amazed. Corn meal isn't necessary to make them crunchy. Try it. You will not be disappointed.

I made these with gluten-free flour and they came out great. I added some diced red pepper for a little kick.

I use this recipe all the time. I simply love it! The lemon and onion give it such flavor. I even put a little bit of sour cream in it. Thanks so much Sam for the recipe!

These sound like the ones my Mother always made for us.
However, she served them with fresh, hot homemade biscuits and applesauce. Being raised in the South, we would cut open the biscuits, place the pattie inside, and eat it like that. Quick, cheap supper anytime!

This is the perfect recipe that all our mothers made for us. My Mother always added chopped celery. It gives it a little more zing.....yummy.

Better than any restaurant. Simply ZZZZZZZZZEE BEST! Just do it!

Love these! I'm making some tonight.
