Salmon patties are not only delicious, but they are a great way to use up leftover salmon. If you don't have leftover salmon, you can use canned. We love tuna patties and when we had some leftover salmon after one dinner we thought why not make salmon patties! Since then, I always try to make extra salmon just so we can have patties. They are super simple to make, have great flavor and they don't take long to make. Use them as the main part of your meal, in a bun as a sandwich, or appetizers ! Be sure to use some Dilly Mayo with them because that sends them over the top.

When the foaming stops carefully place patties into skillet. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side or until set and golden brown. Serve hot with a bit of Dilly Mayo.
