  • Use yellow, orange or green bell pepper.
  • Use canned salmon for quick prep.
  • Dip the patties in panko breadcrumbs or crushed butter crackers like Ritz after rolling them for an extra crispy exterior.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon when initially cooking for the mixture. 10-12 minutes should be plenty.
  • Store any leftover in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
