How to Store Salmon Patties
Store your leftover salmon patties in a shallow, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The best way to reheat them is in a skillet on the stove (to re-crisp them), but you can use the microwave in a pinch.
Can You Freeze Salmon Patties?
Yes! But it's best to freeze the salmon patties before cooking them. Form the patties, then flash freeze them on a baking sheet. Transfer the frozen patties to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. Thaw the patties in the refrigerator, then cook them according to the recipe.
Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
"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."
"Delicious," raves Melplus04. "I added a chopped jalapeño to the mix and it was a hit!"
