"These were so easy to make and tasted really good in return," according to one Allrecipes community member. "I used crushed Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and some of my favorite seasonings. Definitely a recipe that I will use over and over again for salmon patties."

"I love them, but I add a touch of garlic," says trishaanne1012. "I can eat the leftovers straight from the fridge. I would eat them every day if I could."
