Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
Canned wild Alaskan salmon can be replaced with fresh cooked and flaked salmon or canned tuna for a different flavor profile. If using fresh salmon, ensure it’s fully cooked and cooled before incorporating. For a plant-based option, mashed chickpeas can work as a substitute, though the flavor and texture will differ significantly. Oyster sauce can be swapped with soy sauce or fish sauce for similar umami notes, using about half the amount due to higher saltiness. For those avoiding eggs, a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) can serve as a binder. This substitution maintains the patties’ structure while adding beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Saltine cracker crumbs can be replaced with panko breadcrumbs or almond flour for a gluten-free option, adjusting the quantity as needed to achieve the right consistency.

Ingredients
- 1 can wild alaskan salmon
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon old bay seasoning
- 1/3 sleeve saltine cracker crumbs
- Fresh dill or parsley (optional)
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
This ensures the oven is at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the salmon patties.
Step 2: Combine Main Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: 1 can of wild Alaskan salmon (with bones and skin removed), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard (or Dijon), 1 teaspoon onion powder (or chopped onion, if preferred), and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
Use a fork to mix these ingredients together until they are well combined.
Step 3: Add Binders and Flavorings
Add approximately 1/3 of a sleeve of crushed saltine crackers to the salmon mixture.
If you prefer a low-carb option, substitute with Parmesan cheese.
Stir the crackers or cheese into the mixture until they are fully incorporated.
Optionally, you can add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
Step 4: Form and Shape the Patties
With the mixture prepared, form it into patties approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
Try to make them uniform in size to ensure they cook evenly in the oven.
Step 5: Bake the Salmon Patties
Place the formed patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until their edges turn golden brown.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the patties are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your delicious homemade salmon patties!
