💬 Q&A
Q: Can I use canned salmon?
A: Yes! Canned salmon works perfectly — just drain it well before mixing.
Q: What can I serve these with?
A: They pair beautifully with a Greek salad, lemon rice, or garlic yogurt dip.
Q: Can I bake instead of frying?
A: Absolutely. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispness.
