I am out of non dairy milk at the moment so instant mashed potato cakes were not an option, so I am serving these with tater tots and veggies. They arent quite the same as real salmon patties but they sure do make a good alternative and they are relatively inexpensive and easy to make. For my gluten free friends, I think these could work for you too if you have a good gluten free cracker.
