Salmon and Crab Patties

Patties are NOT required by this recipe in fact you can choose if you want to make patties or croquettes.  Merely make your choice to ball and bake or patty and grill this versatile recipe because the preparation and ingredients are essentially the same.  I used the Emile Henry Griddle but their new Baking Sheet would would well here as well.  Clearly a lot of options exist; you can punt the Crab or the Salmon, replace both with Tuna.  Mix it up to your liking or whatever is fresh in the fridge.
