Well, there's lots of things you could do to make them less bland, but
if bland means the salmon predominates then you don't want to lose
that either. So any of the following can find its way into salmon
patties here, but all in quite small measu

minced shallot
minced fresh dill weed
that week's favorite Louisiana red hot sauce (or Cholula which
goes with almost everything imho)
lemon juice
minced celery (very small amount)
dried tarragon (if you like--it won't be to everyone's taste)
Old Bay seasoning (same comment)

Remember also to refrigerate the patties for half an hour or so before
cooking; helps to hold them together. -aem
