- 1 (14 3/4 oz) can salmon, drained
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Oil for frying (vegetable oil or canola oil work best)
- Open the can of salmon and drain thoroughly.
- Transfer the salmon to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake it into small pieces. Don’t forget to check for and remove any large bones if present!
- Add chopped onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, and egg. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form it into a patty. Aim for the size of a small burger. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Heat about 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the patties into the skillet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan!
- Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
- Moist and Flavorful: The mayonnaise not only adds flavor but also ensures your patties stay moist and hold their shape.
- Make It Your Own: Add chopped herbs like parsley or dill for extra freshness. You can also spice it up with a dash of hot sauce or paprika.
- Serving Ideas: Serve these patties with tartar sauce, coleslaw, or a side of Southern greens for a complete meal.
- Quick and Easy: Perfect for busy weeknights – takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
- Budget-Friendly: Canned salmon is affordable and versatile.
- Deliciously Crispy: Golden-brown crust with a soft and savory center – irresistible!
