  You will need a large bowl to mix the ingredients, and a baking sheet to bake the patties. If you have a rack for the baking sheet that would be nice, but not a deal breaker.

  Different salmon brands come in slightly different tins, some are 5 ounces (140g), some are more, some are less. Do not overthink it. Whatever the size, just chuck it in the bowl, and leave the rest of the ingredients the same.
