Choose Quality Salmon: Whether you're using fresh or canned salmon, quality matters. Fresh salmon should be vibrant and firm to the touch, with a pleasant oceanic smell. If you're using canned, opt for versions without added salt or preservatives.

Don't Overmix: When combining your ingredients, be careful not to overmix. You want to keep some texture in the salmon for the best eating experience.

Chill Your Patties: Before cooking the patties, make sure you chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them hold their shape when frying.

Temperature Check: Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the patties. They should sizzle immediately when they hit the pan, which will give them that beautiful, crispy crust. But also, don't let the oil smoke - that's a sign it's too hot!

Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the patties in batches if needed. Overcrowding the pan can lower the temperature of the oil and lead to soggy, oily patties.

Patience is Key: Resist the urge to flip the patties too soon. Let them cook undisturbed until they're golden brown on one side, then flip to cook the other side.

Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, let the patties rest on paper towels for a few minutes. This will help soak up any excess oil, ensuring your patties remain crispy and aren't overly greasy.
