Nice easy recipe. My mother in law used added onion soup mix to her crackers and a finely grated carrot for moisture. I let the mixture rest overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
These taste Soooo good made them just how it says refrigerated them for 10 min then popped them in the oven..very delicious!!
Followed recipe except addition of Old Bay. Had way too much crumbs left over. Tasted dry and I couldn’t get them to brown in the oven. Served them with Basil Aioli. That was the best part.
All of the goodness of salmon cakes without the extra oil!
It’s a great recipe
First time making salmon patties in the oven. This recipe was a little crumbly when flipping the patties. It was okay but I will keep looking.
dry and fell apart.
We all loved it. For as simple as it was it was good. As other reviewers reported I didn’t use even nearly the amount of crackers suggested. Flavor was great. The amount of crackers called for would really dry them out. I am at a high altitude also. Still give it a four with my adjustments because they tasted great just needed that small adjustment. Happy for the easy recipe.
Doubled everything and skipped additional seasonings. Used Panko bread crumbs instead of saltines and added 1/3 cup of shredded sharp cheddar. Cooked the 11 patties (recipe said I’ld have 8 with half the ingredients) about 14 minutes, flipped at 7. I’ll make it again and change something so that they come out a little more moist. Maybe use tartar sauce for a dip
It was cooked in a pan and yes it will be made again.
The amount listed makes less than the purported 8 patties. Maybe you could get 8 slider sized portions out of it. I was even making rather small patties, and the amount made 6 of those. The salmon burgers were rather dry, and I think they would taste better with a different kind of onion than green onions. The patties also shrink when reheated for leftovers. Tasty enough but there are other fish that taste better in burger form. One nice tip I did get from this recipe was to add lemon to fish burgers; it adds a nice refreshing zip.
This recipe is quick and easy. It was a hit. I have been making. Salmon patties for years,however I’ve been frying them. I wanted a healthier recipe. I saw the ingredients were the same that I used. I loved the healthier recipe.
Ordinarily I shallow-fry my salmon patties, but this recipe brings all the taste without the added oil and without leaving a fishy smell in my kitchen after. I found the consistency to be perfect for patties. My recommendation is to form the salmon mixture into a ball and then roll the ball through the breading crumbs before patting it out. I also tried a variation of this recipe using Old Bay brand cheese curls mixed in with the cracker crumbs with superb results.
Substitute saltines for ritz crackers it is so good!
Tasty but dry. I will use less crumbs next time
i used half the amount of breading and it still came out dry. tasted great though. just could use more liquid.
Very good! I didn’t have eggs but used baking powder, oil, and water and it worked well!
Tonite, I made the poor single mom’s gluten free version 😀 1 cup ground up Rice chex (use a potato masher to get it fine), one 5 oz pouch salmon, 1 egg, 2 capfuls smart oil (canola blend), dried minced onion, garlic salt, pepper. I blended it all and formed patties (it made 5) and put on foil lined cookie sheet as suggested. I ended up cooking 10 mins on each side at the temp listed. These have the consistency of a crab cake on the inside and crispy crust outside. Served with brown rice pasta and spinach salad. The teen loves them too. Posting photo in gallery.
I follow the recipe as is. It’s now a family favorite!
Super dry! Patties don’t hold together. Too much cracker crumbs. Either add less crumbs or more egg and oil.
I used yellow onions, not green ones and used seasoned garlic and herb bread crumbs. The lemon pepper seasoning was and added touch along with a little garlic and black pepper. It was so delicious, I will definitely be making these again.
