Southern Fried Salmon Patties

 Southern Fried Salmon Patties

Ingredients:

1 (14 3/4-ounce) can salmon, drained

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 large egg

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

Open the can of salmon and drain thoroughly. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and flake it evenly with a fork, removing any bones or skin if desired.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

Add the chopped onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, and egg to the salmon. Stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together.

3. Shape the Patties:

Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties about the size of an average burger or slightly smaller, depending on your preference.

4. Fry the Patties:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until equally browned and heated through.

5. Drain & Serve:

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Pro Tip: The mayonnaise not only helps bind the patties but also keeps them moist and flavorful.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these Southern Fried Salmon Patties with creamy coleslaw, cornbread, or a side of greens. A drizzle of hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright kick!
