Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment.
If cleaning your salmon, open the can and empty contents into a medium bowl. Clean away any skin or bones and transfer the cleaned fillet into a separate medium bowl.
If using already cleaned salmon, just drain away any water and empty the contents into the bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients, leaving the crackers or Parmesan cheese until last.
Divide the mixture as evenly as you can, making five or six balls. Transfer the balls to the cookie sheet and press them down until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Drizzle with a little olive oil (optional) before baking.
Bake until evenly browned, about 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

Brenda on 2024-06-18 (5 stars): S Rachel, I gave it 5 star because the ingredients are perfect, when I make them I will come back with 5 more stars! Before I do make these salmon patties I want to bake them and was wondering if they are crispy on the outside like those that are pan fried? My family likes crispy! Why drizzle them with olive oil before baking, just curious? Thank in advance!
MarkB on 2023-10-23 (5 stars): I loved it. Word to the wise though, the mustard is a no-go. Very unpleasant. It added bitterness. Use a little lemon instead.
Carla on 2023-10-15 (5 stars): I’ll take pantry ready over frozen any day. These were indeed fast to prepare and sooo delicious. I fried them in butter which was admittedly decadent and served them on a big bed of greens. We were eating in 20 minutes flat after arriving home after vacation to an empty fridge.
Timo on 2023-05-22 (5 stars): Made this tonight. Loved them. Neighbor loved them too.
Few changes: used dry mustard, little less than a sleeve of saltines, added no salt, added a bit of chopped red pepper and celery for a little zip and crunch.
I do not take off skin or bones but mash it all up together. The bones have useful calcium. The skin might have mercury but I don't eat it often enough to be too concerned. I only had dried parsley on hand so just added a pinch or so and used some grated parmesan for the tops of the patties/cakes.
Will make it again and soon!
Valerie on 2023-01-21 (5 stars): these were great. I didn't feel like making individual patties so I just put it on a baking sheet and patted it down flat baked it then cut into squares. lol
Melanie on 2022-11-22 (4 stars): I thoroughly enjoyed these! If I had to do it over again, I would omit the salt and use a little less worcestershire. But I will definitely be making them again!
Marie on 2022-07-09 (5 stars): The only change I made was to omit the salt. It was delicious and easy. I made an aioli of mayo, sour cream, lemon, horseradish and thyme to dip it in. This will be part of the rotation!
