For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried dill or a dash of hot sauce to the salmon mixture. Ensure the oil is hot before frying to achieve a crispy exterior and prevent the patties from becoming greasy. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the drained salmon, chopped onion, and beaten egg. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepGradually stir in the flour until just combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate small bowl, mix the baking powder with 2 tablespoons of the reserved salmon liquid. Then, gently fold this mixture into the salmon mixture. The mixture should hold its shape when formed into patties. If too soft, add flour one tablespoon at a time. If too firm, add a touch more salmon liquid. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepShape the salmon mixture into small, even patties, about 1/2-inch thick. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepHeat the shortening in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
StepSpread the cornmeal in a shallow dish. Gently press each salmon patty into the cornmeal, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
07
StepCarefully place the patties in the hot shortening, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)
08
StepUsing a slotted spoon, transfer the fried salmon patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
