Love this recipe! I added 1/2 tsp of parsley flakes, 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, and used Old Bay Seasoning instead of Cajun Seasoning.

I have been making and eating these since I was about 10 or 11.  STILL love them!!  I aways serve mine with mashed potatoes and baby green peas (fresh in the summertime).  A little ketchup or cocktail sauce on the patty and dig in!!  I don't bother to pick out the skin and bones ... my brother and I used to fight over them, after our mother told us they would make out bones and teeth strong!!

I tried to edit; 2 T. Chopped green onions!

I made these and they turned out fantastic! I modified the recipe by adding my personal touches; I added a quarter finely diced green pepper (not sautéed), 2 T. Chopped green bell pepper, panko crumbs instead of thé crackers, 2 eggs, coated in panko crumbs and fried in a cast iron skillet with 1 T. Olive oil and 1 T. Butter. Served with rémoulade sauce which provides a slightly sweet tangy finish.

I made this with fresh salmon and your Cajun seasoning recipe and they were terrific! I made them a lot smaller and served them with a Caesar Salad.

I love salmon patties and I can't wait to try this recipe because mine never turn out crispy!!

I love Salmon Burgers, but have never made them myself! Can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks so much!
