Crispy Canned Salmon Patties

crispy salmon patty on an open faced sandwich

These easy to make patties can be whipped up with a can of salmon from the pantry and any vegetables or aromatics you happen to have laying around. You could easily change the flavour profile to Greek by adding feta and oregano, or Thai by adding fish sauce, chillies, lime, and garlic. Use this recipe as more of a template for flavourful salmon patties that you can eat as they are, on sandwiches with mayo, lettuce, and tomato as shown above, in wraps or pitas, or on a salad!
