FAQ
Q: Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
A: Yes! You can use cooked, flaked fresh salmon in place of canned salmon. Just ensure it’s thoroughly cooked and flaked before adding it to the mixture.

Q: Can I make the patties ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! You can prepare the patties in advance, refrigerate them, and fry them just before serving. This makes them an ideal make-ahead meal for busy days.

Q: Can I freeze the patties?
A: Yes! These patties freeze well. To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. To reheat, pan-fry from frozen, or bake at 375°F (190°C) until hot and crispy.
