SOUTHERN FRIED SALMON PATTIES

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (14 3/4 ounce) canned salmon
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

INSTRUCTIONS

Open salmon and drain thoroughly. Place drained salmon in mixing bowl and flake evenly with a fork. Add onion, cornmeal, flour, mayonnaise, and egg. Stir until well blended.

Shape the mixture into patties about the size of an average burger or less. Cook in oil in a skillet over medium heat until browned on each side. Turn once while frying.

NOTES

The mayonnaise helps the patties hold their shape and keeps them from being too dry.
