Sammy (Washington) says:
Just a tip for crushing the crackers. There are lots of ways to do it, you can put them in a food processor but that could make them too fine. I take a pkg. of crackers and start whacking it with a knife sharpening steel until they are broken down to large crumbs. The I crunch it around in my hands a bit. Then I open the pkg. and add to the mixture. Works very well and crumbs are just the right size.

My favorite way to eat salmon! I like these with cocktail sauce when they're hot and ketchup on a bun when they're cold right out of the fridge. I wish you'd make them for me more often.

I added crackers and 2 cloves of garlic.. Made patties and rolled in yellow corn meal. I didn't add corn meal in the patties.. These were so good!

I've been making these for some time. They are great. Trying making some & put cheese sauce on them. I buy the cheese sauce on line from the states from Southwestern Mills. I can also find it on Ebay & Amazon. ENJOY!

I have been making these for some time. I also add cheese sauce on top. You can make your own or buy commercial.

A good friend told me to check out this recipe. My only change was a light sprinkle of Old Bay on each patty. These are beautiful, easy, and the best I ever made. I minced red onion very small, and I cooked them in 1/2 butter and 1/2 peanut oil, medium high, 4 minutes per side. They came out looking like a picture in a magazine! You get a lot out of one can of salmon, so this is a very inexpensive meal. Beautiful, frugal, tasty, and quick to make.

Nancy (New Mexico) says:
Exactly how my Mom made salmon patties! I occasionally add chopped-fine celery and a dash of Old Bay to this recipe. Just made salmon patties the other night and they were as good as always. This is a "never fail" recipe when followed exactly and if you make it enough, you won't have to look it up!

Nancy B. (California) says:
Took me a long time to find this, and it's just like my moms. Question: how many crackers or measured cups is "one whole package of Saltines"??
#183242
Sammy (Washington) replies:
I've never measured the cups per pkg. of saltines. But it takes a whole pkg. to make perfect salmon patties.

Schollmeyer Robert (Florida) replies:
People are getting hung up on the saltine "package". Stop calling the saltines a package. It is a sleeve of saltines from a box of crackers. This recipe sounds delicious I'm gonna try it.

Revella (Pennsylvania) says:
I like to add cornmeal to give it that added crunch.

Julia (Ohio) says:
Personally, I think this is way too many crackers, but I never thought about them making it crunchy when you fry them in a half inch of oil. I use the same ingredients, just less. also, I save the liquid from the can and add some with one egg. I might try yours one day for a change. Thanks.

Sammy (Washington) replies:
Actually this the perfect amount of crackers. It really adds to the crunch and flavor which is what you want. I was taught this recipe from my bosses elderly mother and she knew exactly what she was doing. I used to make these for my boss about twice a week for a year and he would have it no other way and I agree with him. Cut down on the crackers and you have a lesser salmon patty.

Johnc (California) says:
I'm a totally new and I want to make this. I went to the store and they have three sizes of saltine boxes one tube, two tubes, and four tubes. I bought the two and four tube boxes which one should I use?

Tina (New York) replies:
Package = tube = sleeve. A box contains multiple packages.

Try adding a can of green chilis to your salmon. So good!
