Note

For a crispier exterior, you can broil the cakes for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, but watch them closely to prevent burning.

Leftover salmon cakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.

Feel free to substitute the Ritz crackers with panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free crackers if needed.
