- Swap breadcrumbs for almond flour to make these low-carb/keto-friendly.
- Use fresh salmon (cooked and flaked) instead of canned for a richer flavor.
- Add chopped green onions or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra zest.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
