Adding Sauces
Serve the patties with a dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, garlic aioli, homemade mayonnaise, or a soy-ginger glaze work well, adding extra flavor and moisture.

Canned instead of Fresh: You can use canned salmon for convenience; drain it well and remove any skin or bones before mixing.
Substitute Salmon: Use tuna or white fish for a different flavor profile.
Add Veggies: Finely diced onions, scallions, or bell peppers can be mixed into the patties.
Make It Gluten-Free: Swap panko with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
