You will love this budget-friendly salmon patties recipe, using everyday pantry items. Made with rice, not potato, for more texture and a lighter, less stodgy, salmon cake.
These salmon patties are another one from my mum's recipe collection. A budget-friendly recipe that I ate a lot growing up. Serve with salad, or make a sandwich with them. Tasty, easy, and hip pocket friendly.
